A comprehensive review on microbial production and significant applications of multifunctional biomolecules: biosurfactants.
Review in Biodegradation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Microorganisms are very well known potential sources of many novel metabolites and biosurfactants (green molecules). Biosurfactants are biobased molecules which are synthesized by bacteria, yeasts, fungi and actinomycetes. These biomolecules have emerged as multifunctional biomolecules of the 21st century due to their remarkable functional properties like low toxicity, enhanced effectiveness, selectivity, stability, high biodegradability and eco-friendly nature. These characteristics enable them to remain high effective under extreme conditions and play a significant role in environmental protection. Biosurfactants play a pivotal role in bioremediation technologies, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative for cleaning up contaminants. Their unique ability to reduce interfacial tension in liquids enables them to perform crucial functions such as biodegradation, emulsification, foam formation, surface activity, washing performance and detergent formulation. These versatile properties make biosurfactants invaluable across various industries, including environmental remediation, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and cosmetics. This review discusses the microbial production, characterization, industrial applications and ecological significance of biosurfactants. By highlighting their impact in the bioremediation of contaminants, this article underscores the potential of biosurfactants in advancing green technologies and addressing global environmental challenges.
