Marine Surfactants
This book explores the development of novel marine biosurfactants. The book
also covers the utilization of marine surfactants for biological, biomedical, and
environmental applications.
Marine Surfactants: Preparations and Applications aims to examine every
aspect of marine-derived surfactants. The first part of the book discusses the
isolation of marine surfactants from various organisms, including marine bacteria,
algae, cyanobacteria, and so on. The editors also examine the cultivation of marine
microorganisms and the harvesting of other natural biological resources from the
sea. The next part of the book discusses the application of marine surfactants,
including oil spill removal in the sea, bioremediation of polluted water and soil,
treatments for breast cancer, restoration of marine environments, nanoparticle
synthesis, and development of different kinds of emulsifiers. With contributions
from world-renowned experts in the field, this book will be an essential resource
in understanding and developing various marine-derived surfactants.
This book is intended for researchers and marine biotechnologists as well
as medical practitioners working on a vast range of industrial and medical
applications using marine materials. It would also be useful for students looking
to understand the utilization of marine-derived surfactants.

Preface
Around 70% of the ocean is covered by water, and the marine environment is an
underexplored natural resource. Marine surfactants have gained much attention
due to their interesting biological properties. Marine-derived species, including
microbes, have produced fascinating surfactants that can be potentially used in
several biological and biomedical applications.
In the current book, several contributors around the globe contributed to
marine surfactant production, the culture method of microbes for surfactant pro-
duction, and the essential bioprocess method to enlarge surfactant production.
Purification of surfactants using acid precipitation, solvent extraction, liquid
membrane extraction, foam fractionation, and membrane-based techniques are
discussed in the introduction chapters. Different kinds of surfactant glycolipids,
phospholipids and fatty acids, lipoproteins, and polymeric surfactants are pro-
vided. The diversity of marine biosurfactant-producing bacteria and their role in
the degradation of petrochemical hydrocarbons are discussed. Finally, the pro-
duction and characterization of biosurfactants to improve the effectiveness and
bioavailability of insoluble antibiotics are discussed.
Bacteria producers of biosurfactants isolated from saline soil and caverns and
the role of microbial biosurfactants in marine bioremediation are presented—
marine algal and cyanobacterial surface-active compounds. In the book’s final
part, the authors discuss marine biosurfactants’ application in agriculture, cos-
metics, oil remediation, and environmental bioremediation—extensive studies
on the fermentative production of biosurfactants from extremophilic marine
microbes.
I am fully aware that I cannot completely satisfy the interest of various scien-
tists working in this area. Still, I hope this book will bring forward new avenues
in this ever-growing field. In the future, I intend to fully address any inadver-
tent inadequacies and welcome all suggestions that can be included in coming
editions. Finally, I am thankful to Dr. Venkatesan J, Yenepoya (Deemed to be
University), India, who has extended his helping hand to complete this book.
