review · PeerJ
Growing attention towards rhamnolipids (RLs) biosurfactants with antibacterial, antifungal, antivirus and antitumor potentials encourage future research in biotechnology and biomedicine fields. Economic production from waste materials, biodegradability and low toxicity makes RLs perform as green molecules that serve in sustainability and green technologies. This review aims to focus on bioproduction, detection and applications of rhamnolipids in pharmaceuticals, soil bioremediation, agriculture and food industries in addition to future perspectives. This will help to shed light on and update the existing knowledge of feasible and sustainable biosurfactant production depending on the fermentation processes.
