Surfactants, also known as surface-active agents, have emerged an important class of compounds with a wide range applications. However, the use chemical-derived surfactants must be restricted due to their potential adverse impact on ecosystem and health human other living organisms. In past few years, there has been growing inclination towards natural-derived alternatives, particularly microbial surfactants, substitutes for synthetic or chemical-based counterparts. Microbial biosurfactants are abundantly found in bacterial species, predominantly Bacillus spp. Pseudomonas The chemical structures involve complexation lipids carbohydrates (glycolipoproteins glycolipids), peptides (lipopeptides), phosphates (phospholipids). Lipopeptides, particular, subject extensive research versatile properties, including emulsifying, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory properties. This review provides update progress classification surfactants. Furthermore, it explores various functionalities, along advantages over Finally, applications these many industries insights into future directions discussed.

Abstract Global solid waste generation is expected to double by 2050 from the present annual level of 2.01 metric ton. Traditional biowaste treatment methods, such as landfilling and incineration, cannot meet need deal with gigantic amounts reduce environmental harm. This review critically evaluates existing sustainable management strategies highlighting their role in transitioning a “reuse recovery” paradigm. Sustainable refers conserving resources protecting human health, society, environment. In this context, examines current advancements potential trends using widely available novel applications produce key biofuels (such biogas biodiesel) corrosion inhibitors, asbestos‐free brake pads, nutrient‐rich functional foods, bio‐cement, bio‐based fertilizer, biodegradable plastic. Among these, biowaste‐to‐energy conversion (e.g., production) plastic synthesis emerge particularly impactful due scalability address both reduction resource recovery goals. The strategic utilization into products holds significant promise mitigating sustainability problems, offering renewable alternatives that are free harmful additives.

Extremophiles are organisms that can survive and thrive in conditions termed as "extreme" by human beings. Conventional methods cannot be applied under extreme like temperature pH fluctuations, high salinity, etc. for a variety of reasons. function adapted to these environments sustainable, cheaper, efficient, therefore, they serve better alternatives the traditional methods. They adapt with biochemical physiological changes produce products extremolytes, extremozymes, biosurfactants, etc., which found useful wide range industries sustainable agriculture, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals. These also play crucial role bioremediation, production biofuels, biorefinery, astrobiology.

Abstract When pollutants like petroleum hydrocarbons as one of the major origins aquatic pollution, enter environment, they alter biological and/or physicochemical characteristics aforementioned sites due to their potential bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and resistance against biodegradation besides its toxicity carcinogenicity in nature. Thus, importance degradation, deterioration remediation these from environments such via a green method bioremediation is undeniable. Biosurfactants secondary metabolites microorganisms, enhance rate hydrocarbons. Using oleophilic microorganisms with capability biosurfactant production which this paper calls "potential microorganisms" system promising. This article reviews effective factors on share biosurfactants process, chemical surfactants limiting biosurfactant's counterpart, rising market promising future, various types biosurfactants, requirements develop an optimized biosurfactant-base system. Furthermore, based former studies suggests novel in-situ biosurfactant-based integrated Biochar called “Potential Microorganisms Immobilized system” (PMIBC system) cost-effective for decontamination groundwater, lakes, marshes, etc. oil spills requires further study.

Bioremediation by in situ biostimulation is an attractive alternative to excavation of contaminated soil. Many remediation methods have been tested with some success; however, due highly variable results realistic field conditions, they not implemented as widely might deserve. To ensure success, should be validated under site-analogous conditions before full scale use, which requires expertise and local knowledge the implementers. The focus here on indigenous microbial degraders evaluation their performance. Identifying removing biodegradation bottlenecks for degradation organic pollutants essential. Limiting factors commonly include: lack oxygen or electron acceptors, low temperature, essential nutrients. Additional factors: bioavailability contaminating compound, pH, distribution contaminant, soil structure moisture, cases, potential may amended bioaugmentation. Methods remove these are discussed. Implementers also prepared combine use them sequence. Chemical/physical means used enhance biostimulation. review suggests tools assessing sustainability, life cycle assessment, risk assessment. help entrepreneurs, decision makers, developers future, we suggest founding a database otherwise seldom reported unsuccessful interventions, well artificial intelligence (AI) assist site decision-making.
