• Antimicrobial activity of rhamnolipids against Listeria monocytogenes and their synergistic interaction with nisin (2013, background): “They are synthesized as a mixture of homologs mainly composed of di-rhamnolipids and mono-rhamnolipids (Maier & Soberón-Chávez, 2000).”
• Biosurfactants: A General Overview (2011, background): “Presently, the vast majority of surfactants used are synthetic; however, in light of their unique chemical characteristics, biosurfactants have been recognized for their potential utility in many applications in a number of recent reviews, e.g., (Bonmatin et al. 2003; Desai and Banat 1997; Kosaric 2”
• Biosurfactants: potential applications in medicine. (2006, background): “aeruginosa virulence-associated traits.(77) The cosmetic and healthcare industries use large amounts of surfactants for a wide variety of products, including insect repellents, antacids, acne pads, contact lens solutions, hair colour and care products, deodorants, nail care products, lipstick, eye s”
• Microbial biosurfactants production, applications and future potential (2010, background): “Rhamnolipid production by Pseudomonas species has been extensively studied, and potential applications have been proposed (Maier and Soberón-Chávez 2000).”
• An efficient biosurfactant-producing and crude-oil emulsifying bacterium Bacillus methylotrophicus USTBa isolated from petroleum reservoir (2013, background): “Most widely studied biosurfactant are surfactins of Bacillus substilis [7,8], rhamnolipid of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [9], glycolipid of Rhodococcus erythropolis and sophorolipid of Candida rugosa [10].”
• Surfactants in microbiology and biotechnology: Part 2. Application aspects. (2007, background): “Rhamnolipid production is dependant on the central metabolic pathways for fatty acid synthesis and for dTDP (thiamine diphosphate)-activated sugar formation and on enzymes which participate in the production of the exopolysaccharide alginate (Maier and Soberon-Chavez, 2000).”
• Rhamnolipids: diversity of structures, microbial origins and roles (2010, background): “They have been intensively investigated and extensively reviewed (Maier and Soberón-Chávez 2000; Nitschke et al. 2005; Ochsner et al. 1996; Soberón-Chávez 2004; SoberónChávez et al. 2005).”
• Environmental Applications of Biosurfactants: Recent Advances (2011, background): “Enhancement of the degradation and dispersion of different classes of hydrocarbons; emulsification of hydrocarbons and vegetable oils; removal of metals from soil [13–16]”
• Use of liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy for studying the composition and properties of rhamnolipids produced by different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2003, background): “Different RL production strategies have been described for several strains of Pseudomonas (12‐14), and new applications have been reported ( 15 ).”
