Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial biofilms: biosurfactants as antibiofilm agents
TL;DR: Parts of biofilm characteristics are explored and the contribution of biologically derived surface-active agents (biosurfactants) to the disruption or inhibition of microbial biofilms are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sophorolipid biosurfactants: Possible uses as antibacterial and antibiofilm agent
TL;DR: The results indicated that sophorolipids may be promising compounds for use in biomedical application as adjuvants to other antimicrobial against some pathogens through inhibition of growth and/or biofilm disruption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial properties of biosurfactants against selected Gram-positive and -negative bacteria.
TL;DR: It was concluded that sophorolipids are promising compounds for the inhibition/disruption of biofilms formed by Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms and this activity can be enhanced by the presence of booster compounds such as caprylic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Mono and Di-rhamnolipids on Biofilms Pre-formed by Bacillus subtilis BBK006
TL;DR: Rhamnolipids are biologically produced compounds safe for human use that makes them ideal candidates for use in new generations of bacterial dispersal agents and useful for use as adjuvants for existing microbial suppression or eradication strategies.
