Importance of microbial surfactants in heavy metal remediation

Many industrial processes can lead to heavy metal contamination. As heavy metals are not biodegradable and do damage all biological systems and the subsoil, their existence in soil and water poses major issues. Rhamnolipids surfactants in specific and biologically outer surface chemicals generally were utilized effectively in the rehabilitation of environments polluted with heavy metal ions. This chapter emphasizes the possible uses for such tensioactive compounds in the bioremediation of environmental heavy metals, as well as the various methods.
