All countries are concerned about meeting the growing demands of the
human population in terms of agricultural output in a timely manner. Biosurfactants are
substances that bacteria, yeasts and fungus are said to create as green surfactants which
are less harmful and environmentally compassionate. Several forms of biosurfactants
could be commercialised for use in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries.
Surface active molecules are frequently utilised in agricultural soil remediation to
improve soil quality. In recent years, the chemical compounds have gotten a lot of
attention because they're seen as a viable and environmentally benign alternative to
traditional remedial solutions. The bio molecules which showed the potential to replace
the harsh surfactants currently utilised in the multibillion-dollar pesticide industry. The
microbial population is screened for biosurfactant synthesis using traditional methods.
The modern civilization is confronted with a number of issues in terms of enforcing
environmental protection, implementation and addressing climate change for future
generation. As a result, studies on environmental safety and human are being carried
out in order to improve the efficiency of sustainable environmental restoration
methods. Cosmetics, medicines, food, petroleum, agriculture, textiles and wastewater
treatment are just a few of the areas where biosurfactants have been shown to be
successful and efficient. Improved plant pathogen management, antibacterial activity,
antibiofilm activity, seed protection and fertility, wound healing and dermatological
care, drug delivery systems, and anticancer treatments are just a few of the applications
for microbial produced biosurfactants. This study emphasizes the widespread utilize of
harsh surfactants in the agrochemical industry and agricultural soil. More research is
needed to determine the possible relevance of biosurfactants produced from
environmental isolates in plant growth improvement and other agricultural
applications.
