Abstract

Myriad enzymes from various microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi) have been studied for their potential role in the biodegradation of organic waste, which is generally synthesized in the form of surface-active compounds (SACs) called biosurfactants. Employing microbial biosurfactants/enzymes is an eco-friendly and cost-effective biotechnology that can advance the bioremediation process in the reduction of toxic pollutants. It also leads to harnessing novel useful compounds. More targeted research is needed on a working model for the treatment of organic waste–based remediation strategies. In this chapter, we address the current understanding of and advances related to biosurfactant applications in mitigating problems associated with organic waste.
