Abstract
Rhamnolipids are recognized as eco-friendly biosurfactants and produced by the bio-process employing bacteria. Pseudomons aeruginosa is well-known to produce rhamnolipids in high yield during fermentation process. Rhamnose and 𝛽-hydroxylated fatty acid are main chemicals for rhamnolipids, which are produced in the form of congener mixtures. In this paper, the synthetic mechanism of rhamnolipids within bacteria cells was presented in part and foam control technologies were qualitatively described. Foam control during fermentation process was important to regulate a continuous process. During last decade, the technologies are developed enough to challenge to a commercial-scale production. In particular, rhamnolipids will be more valuable if these can be applicable to value-added chemicals, such as medicines.
