Surfactants are a group of amphiphilic molecules (i.e., having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains) that vital part nearly every contemporary industrial process such as in agriculture, medicine, personal care, food, petroleum. In general surfactants can be derived from (i) petroleum-based sources or (ii) microbial/plant origins. Petroleum-based obvious results petroleum products, which lead to pollution thus pose severe problems the environment leading various ecological damages. Thus, newer techniques have been suggested for deriving surfactant maintaining environmental sustainability. Biosurfactants microbial plant origins offer much added advantages high biodegradability, lesser toxicity, ease raw material availability, easy applicability. they also termed "green surfactants". this regard, review focused on biosurfactants over synthetic produced products along with their potential applications different industries. We provided market aspects future directions considered selections biosurfactants. This would open up new avenues research by overcoming existing bottlenecks field.

Population growth and the need for increased agricultural productivity pose a global problem. Therefore, development of green compounds to ensure sustainability is an urgent necessity. Surfactant hold significant commercial importance due their diverse industrial uses. However, synthetic origin these agents limits application toxicity. As result, extensive research has focused on production microbial-originated surfactants, known as biosurfactants, over past fifteen years. These biomolecules not only offer alternative agriculture but also exhibit reduced toxicity excellent stability under specific environmental conditions. Biosurfactants can lower surface tension more effectively than surfactants. With properties such detergency foam formation, biosurfactants are suitable various applications, particularly in pesticide agrochemical formulations. They function biopesticides manage pests, pathogens, phytopathogenic fungi, weeds antimicrobial activity. Moreover, plants benefit from biosurfactant molecules microorganisms nutrients. aid efficiently distribution micronutrients metals soil. stimulate plant immunity utilized soil hydrophilization proper moisture levels uniform fertilizer distribution. This review aims provide valuable insights into role adjuvants, fostering sustainable formulations replace chemical surfactants used pesticides. For this purpose, general aspects activity initially described, followed by discussion pesticides, including herbicides, fungicides, insecticide products. Next, discussed use with emphasis microbial demonstrated. The industry trends addressed prospects discussed.

Chromium contamination primarily originates from anthropogenic activities such as industrial discharges, mining operations, and the improper disposal of chromium-containing products, leading to its infiltration into soil groundwater. The persistence chromium in environment poses severe ecological health risks, including bioaccumulation aquatic organisms adverse effects on plant growth microbes. Human exposure through contaminated water or occupational settings is linked respiratory problems, skin disorders, heightened cancer risk. Addressing these challenges necessitates sustainable remediation approaches, highlighting potential biosurfactants eco-friendly alternatives conventional methods. This review was aimed provide an overview different properties application removal, covering key aspects introduction future perspectives. Biosurfactants microbial-derived surface-active agents, exhibit that make them highly effective reducing contamination. Their biodegradability, low toxicity, renewable production ensure minimal environmental impact. Moreover, their amphiphilic nature enhances bioavailability, facilitating microbial uptake reduction. Certain chelate metal ions, preventing migration secondary contamination, while synergistic interactions with microorganisms improve efficiency. By supporting transformation toxic Cr (VI) less harmful (III) promoting precipitation insoluble compounds, offer a versatile solution for mitigating pollution.
