Marine microorganisms have unique metabolic and physiological characteristics and are an important source of new biomolecules such as biosurfactants. Low molecular weight surfactants are glycolipids, phospholipids, fatty acids, lipopeptides and lipoproteins, and high molecular weight surfactants are mixtures of heteropolysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins and proteins. The main general of bacteria that synthesize biosurfactants are Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Antarctobacter, Rhodococcus, Halomonas, Alcanivorax, Pseudoalteromonas and Marinobacter. This review examines the structure and function of biosurfactants isolated from marine microorganisms.
