          Abstract

          Surfactant: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant This page provides a primer on surfactants of all types, including biosurfactants. Methods for studying biosurfactants http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20210700 Biosurfactants can be characterized using a variety of physical and spectroscopic methods, and this review discusses those methods. Biosurfactants book http://www.landesbioscience.com/books/special/id/1791/ This page describes a comprehensive open-source e-book on biosurfactants. It was published in 2012, so it contains recent information. Biosurfactant research group http://rkt.chem.ox.ac.uk/projects/biosurfactants.html This academic research page provides a good overview of biosurfactants. Global biosurfactants market http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/11/prweb10158903.htm While the full report is available only for a fee, this page hints at the importance of biosurfactants commercially. Biosurfactant-producing bacteria http://www.ideaconnection.com/crowdfunding/isolation-and-characterization-of-biosurfactant-produ-00041.html This page on the IdeaConnection website proposes research on bacterial biosurfactants. Biosurfactants and bioremediation http://envismadrasuniv.org/Bioremediation/pdf/Biosurfactants%20and%20oil%20bioremediation.pdf This page links to a comprehensive review article on the role of biosurfactants in bioremediation. Biosurfactant-mediated biodegradation of alkanes http://www.amb-express.com/content/1/1/9/abstract This is a typical example in which an alkane-degrading pseudomonad makes a rhamnolipid surfactant that aids in solubilizing and degrading the alkanes. Studies on novel surfactants http://www.columbia.edu/cu/iucrc/research.shtml This list of research at a university centre describes numerous projects on surfactants, including biosurfactants. Microbes and oil spills http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/science/publications/microbes/index-eng.html This page contains a reprinting of a document from the American Academy of Microbiology that answers frequently asked questions about oil spills, largely from the perspective of how microorgansisms are impacted and impact the spill. Biosurfactant structures http://www.biosurf.ugent.be/Biosurfactantia.htm This introduction to biosurfacants contains text and shows chemical structures of characterized biosurfactants. Patents on bioemulsifiers and biosurfactants http://nopr.niscair.res.in/bitstream/123456789/4804/1/JSIR%2065(2)%2091-115.pdf This review arrticle contains information on more than 250 patents relevant to biosurfactants. Microbial production of biosurfactants http://www.iisc.ernet.in/currsci/jul10/articles19.htm This web review article contains detailed information and more than 160 references. Biosurfactants in environmental processes http://gradworks.umi.com/35/50/3550595.html This page links to a dissertation that describes the multiple environmental roles of microbial biosurfactants. Examples include their role in biodegradation and aid in swarming motility. New production processes for biosurfactants http://www.igb.fraunhofer.de/en/competences/molecular-biotechnology/white-biotechnology/biosurf.html This page describes an institutional programme to develop biosurfactants for industrial uses. Biosurfactants: Eugene Rosenberg http://www.tau.ac.il/lifesci/departments/biotech/members/rosenberg/rosenberg.html This personal web page contains links to many papers and patents pertaining to biosurfactants.
