Structural Diversity Analysis of Marine Biosurfactant

Marine ecosystems are an important source of compounds with interesting biological activities that can confer economic or industrial value. Marine-derived biosurfactants are produced by non-pathogenic organisms, which makes their potential for development in commercial products attractive. Furthermore, biosurfactants produced by marine bacteria may exhibit excellent activity under extreme conditions (temperature, pH and salinity). Biosurfactants produced by different microorganisms exhibit a vast spectrum of diverse chemical structures. The amphiphilic nature of biosurfactants is typically formed by hydrophobic and hydrophilic components, and the hydrophobic moieties typically includes saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, hydroxy fatty acids, or fatty alcohols with chain lengths between 8 and 18 carbon atoms. The hydrophilic component consists of small hydroxyl, phosphate or carboxyl groups, or consists of carbohydrates (such as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides) or (poly)peptide moieties. Biosurfactants are further classified according to their molecular structure, such as glycolipids, lipopeptides, phospholipids, lipoproteins, fatty acids and polymeric biosurfactants.

Sample Requirement

  • Experimental samples will not be returned, please back up by yourself.
  • Before sampling, a control group and an experimental group should be set up, and it is recommended to repeat more than 3 times for each group.
  • There is no limit to the variety of marine biosurfactants.
  • For breeds with special requirements or rare breeds, please contact our staff for more information.
