Biosurfactants are a series of organic compounds that are composed of two parts, hydrophobic and hydrophilic, and since they have properties such as less toxicity and biodegradation, they are widely used in the food industry. Important applications i...
This study presents the kinetics of production of a glycolipopeptide biosurfactant in a medium previously co-optimized by response surface and neural network methods to gain some insight into its volumetric and specific productivities for possible sc...
