Increasing public awareness of environmental pollution influences the search and development of technologies that help in clean up of organic and inorganic contaminants such as hydrocarbons and metals. An alternative and eco-friendly method of remediation technology of environments contaminated with these pollutants is the use of biosurfactants and biosurfactant-producing microorganisms. The diversity of biosurfactants makes them an attractive group of compounds for potential use in a wide variety of industrial and biotechnological applications. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances in the applications of biosurfactants and biosurfactant-producing microorganisms in hydrocarbon and metal remediation technologies.
公众对环境污染的认识不断提高，这推动了有助于清除碳氢化合物和金属等有机和无机污染物的技术的探索与发展。一种用于修复受这些污染物污染环境的替代且环保的方法是使用生物表面活性剂和产生生物表面活性剂的微生物。生物表面活性剂的多样性使其成为一类有吸引力的化合物，有可能用于广泛的工业和生物技术应用。本综述的目的是全面概述生物表面活性剂和产生生物表面活性剂的微生物在碳氢化合物和金属修复技术中的应用进展。
