Abstract

Amphipathic nature of biosurfactants enhances their applications in various field like
health care, bioremediation, agriculture, mining. Biosurfactants can interact with hydrophilic
surface as well as hydrophobic surface. As plasma membrane is made up of
lipid bilayer, it is very easy for biosurfactant to diffuse into it and show its activity.
So it is used as drug for many disorder and used as vehicle (liposome) to deliver dugs
into body. In this study, different chemical nature and various medical applications
of biosurfactants are reviewed. Antibacterial property of biosurfactant isolated from
different species of Lactobacillus and Bacillus are reviewed. Effect of monoolein on
cervical cancer (HeLA) and leukemia (U937) cells are studied. Antifouling, antifungal
and antiviral nature of biosurfactant are also studied. This paper also focused on
application of biosurfactant in nanotechnology, food industry and cosmetic industry.
Key words: Biosurfactants–antifungal–antiviral–antifouling–anticancer
