This book explores the development
of novel marine biosurfactants. The
book also covers the utilization of
marine surfactants for biological
and 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 include 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 marine surfactants,
including oil spill removal in the
sea, bioremediation of polluted
water and soil, treatments for
breast cancer, restoration of marine
environments, nanoparticles
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.
