Biosurfactants can be classified by their chemical composition and their origin. This review briefly describes various classes of biosurfactants based on their origin and introduces a few of the most widely used biosurfactants. The current status and future trends in biosurfactant production are discussed, with an emphasis on those derived from plants. Following a brief introduction of the properties of microbubbles, recent progress in the application of microbubble technology to molecular imaging, wastewater treatment, and aerobic fermentation are presented. Several studies on the preparation, characterization and applications of biosurfactant-based microbubbles are reviewed.
生物表面活性剂可根据其化学组成和来源进行分类。本综述基于生物表面活性剂的来源简要描述了各类生物表面活性剂，并介绍了一些使用最为广泛的生物表面活性剂。文中讨论了生物表面活性剂生产的现状和未来趋势，重点关注源自植物的生物表面活性剂。在简要介绍微泡的性质之后，阐述了微泡技术在分子成像、废水处理及需氧发酵应用方面的最新进展。综述了几项关于基于生物表面活性剂的微泡的制备、表征及应用的研究。
