Abstract
The growing biotechnology industry has focused a lot of attention on biosurfactants because of several advantages over synthetic surfactants. These benefits include worldwide public health, environmental sustainability, and the increasing demand from sectors for environmentally friendly products. Replacement with biosurfactants can reduce upto 8% lifetime CO2 emissions avoiding about 1.5 million tons of greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere. Therefore, the demand for biosurfactants has risen sharply occupying about 10% (∼10 million tons/year) of the world production of surfactants. Biosurfactants' distinct amphipathic structure, which is made up of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components, enables these molecules to perform essential functions in emulsification, foam formation, detergency, and oil dispersion-all of which are highly valued characteristic in a variety of sectors. Today, a variety of biosurfactants are manufactured on a commercial scale for use in the food, petroleum, and agricultural industries, as well as the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. We provide a thorough analysis of the body of knowledge on microbial biosurfactants that has been gained over time in this research. We also discuss the benefits and obstacles that need to be overcome for the effective development and use of biosurfactants, as well as their present and future industrial uses.

Recent advances and discoveries of microbial-based glycolipids: Prospective alternative for remediation activities. Biotechnol Adv 2023; 68:108198. [PMID: 37330152 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Surfactants have always been a prominent chemical that is useful in various sectors (e.g., cleaning agent production industry, textile industry and painting industry). This is due to the special ability of surfactants to reduce surface tension between two fluid surfaces (e.g., water and oil). However, the current society has long omitted the harmful effects of petroleum-based surfactants (e.g., health issues towards humans and reducing cleaning ability of water bodies) due to their usefulness in reducing surface tension. These harmful effects will significantly damage the environment and negatively affect human health. As such, there is an urgency to secure environmentally friendly alternatives such as glycolipids to reduce the effects of these synthetic surfactants. Glycolipids is a biomolecule that shares similar properties with surfactants that are naturally synthesized in the cell of living organisms, glycolipids are amphiphilic in nature and can form micelles when glycolipid molecules clump together, reducing surface tension between two surfaces as how a surfactant molecule is able to achieve. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive study on the recent advances in bacteria cultivation for glycolipids production and current lab scale applications of glycolipids (e.g., medical and waste bioremediation). Studies have proven that glycolipids are effective anti-microbial agents, subsequently leading to an excellent anti-biofilm forming agent. Heavy metal and hydrocarbon contaminated soil can also be bioremediated via the use of glycolipids. The major hurdle in the commercialization of glycolipid production is that the cultivation stage and downstream extraction stage of the glycolipid production process induces a very high operating cost. This review provides several solutions to overcome this issue for glycolipid production for the commercialization of glycolipids (e.g., developing new cultivating and extraction techniques, using waste as cultivation medium for microbes and identifying new strains for glycolipid production). The contribution of this review aims to serve as a future guideline for researchers that are dealing with glycolipid biosurfactants by providing an in-depth review on the recent advances of glycolipid biosurfactants. By summarizing the points discussed as above, it is recommended that glycolipids can substitute synthetic surfactants as an environmentally friendly alternative.

Abstract
In this study, a new cholesterol-free delivery system named RL-βC-Rts was developed using rhamnolipid (RL) as the surfactant and encapsulating both β-carotene (βC) and rutinoside (Rts). The purpose was to examine its antibacterial properties against four food-borne pathogenic microorganisms including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Listeria monocytogenes (L. m), and Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) and to investigate the mechanism behind the inhibition. Results from bacterial viability tests and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) showed RL-βC-Rts possessed antibacterial activity. Upon further examination of the cell membrane potential, it was observed that E. coli, S. aureus, L. m, and S. typhimurium exhibited a reduction in mean fluorescence intensity by 50.17%, 34.07%, 34.12%, and 47.05%, respectively. These decreases suggested damage to the structure of the cell membrane, which subsequently resulted in the discharge of proteins from the bacteria and the consequential impairment of crucial functions. This was supported by alterations in protein concentration. The results of the RT-qPCR showcased that the expression of genes associated with energy metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, DNA metabolism, virulence factor formation and cell membrane formation could be suppressed by RL-βC-Rts.

Expanding therapeutic strategies for intracellular bacterial infections through conjugates of apoptotic body-antimicrobial peptides. Drug Discov Today 2023; 28:103444.

Abstract
Macrophage intracellular infections are difficult to treat because conventional antibiotics tend to have poor penetration of mammalian cells. As a consequence, the immune response is affected and bacteria remain protected inside macrophages. The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is one of the alternatives developed as new treatments because of their broad spectrum of action. To improve drug delivery into the intracellular space, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as an innovative strategy for drug delivery. In particular, apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs) are EVs that exhibit attraction to macrophages, which makes them a promising means of improving AMP delivery to treat macrophage intracellular infections. Here, we review important aspects that should be taken into account when developing ApoBD-AMP conjugates.

Chem Phys Lipids 2022; 248:105236.

Abstract
In order to provide the fundamental information about the interactions of common anionic surfactants with the basic unsaturated phospholipids the influence of three cationic (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, DTAB; tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, TTAB and hexadecyltrimethylamonium bromide, CTAB) and one anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS) surfactants on the properties of the 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) layers was investigated. The studies proved that a tiny amount of the ionic surfactant added to the already synthesized liposome suspension is sufficient to change the zeta potential of the POPC and DOPC liposomes significantly. This impact increases with the surfactant concentration, the alkyl chain length of the surfactant and the degree of lipid saturation. Moreover, this effect is greater for the anionic surfactant than for the cationic one of the same alkyl chain length. The observed findings were confirmed in the course of the research carried out with the use of the corresponding Langmuir monolayers where the surface pressure - mean area isotherms, the compressibility modulus - surface pressure dependences, the monolayer penetration tests, the surface potential - mean molecular area isotherms and Brewster angle microscopy were discussed. It was found that the presence of the surfactants shifts the isotherms towards larger molecular area, to the higher extent for the SDS than DTAB. This effect increases with the increasing surfactant concentration in the subphase. Moreover, the investigated surfactants remain in the monolayer even at high surface pressure. Nevertheless, no effect on the morphology of the POPC and DOPC monolayers was detected from the BAM images. The surface potential and surface charge of the liposomes calculated on the basis of the zeta potential results reflected the interactions between the surfactant and the lipid layers.

Abstract
The security issue of human health is faced with dispiriting threats from multidrug-resistant bacteria infections induced by the abuse and misuse of antibiotics. Over decades, the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) hold great promise as a viable alternative to treatment with antibiotics due to their peculiar antimicrobial mechanisms of action, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, lower drug residue, and ease of synthesis and modification. However, they universally express a series of disadvantages that hinder their potential application in the biomedical field (e.g., low bioavailability, poor protease resistance, and high cytotoxicity) and extremely waste the abundant resources of AMP database discovered over the decades. For all these reasons, the nanostructured antimicrobial peptides (Ns-AMPs), based on a variety of nanosystem modification, have made up for the deficiencies and pushed the development of novel AMP-based antimicrobial therapies. In this review, we provide an overview of the advantages of Ns-AMPs in improving therapeutic efficacy and biological stability, reducing side effects, and gaining the effect of organic targeting and drug controlled release. Then the different material categories of Ns-AMPs are described, including inorganic material nanosystems containing AMPs, organic material nanosystems containing AMPs, and self-assembled AMPs. Additionally, this review focuses on the Ns-AMPs for the effect of biological activities, with emphasis on antimicrobial activity, biosecurity, and biological stability. The "state-of-the-art" antimicrobial modes of Ns-AMPs, including controlled release of AMPs under a specific environment or intrinsic antimicrobial properties of Ns-AMPs, are also explicated. Finally, the perspectives and conclusions of the current research in this field are also summarized.
