Review on Current Research on Biosynthesis of Biosurfactants and the Regulation Influenced by Metal Ions.
Review in Journal of microbiology and biotechnology, 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
Biosurfactants, amphiphilic secondary metabolites mainly produced by microorganisms, can be categorized into five groups according to their chemical structure and source: glycolipids, lipopeptides, phospholipids, polymeric biosurfactants, and particulate surfactants. The hydrophobic segments of biosurfactants typically contain fatty acids of varying chain lengths, while their hydrophilic portions display a wide range of diversity. Diverse biosurfactants have distinct metabolic pathways. Glycolipids are usually associated with glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and fatty acid metabolism, while lipopeptides are closely connected to non-ribosomal peptide synthetase. Particulate biosurfactants are formed through the anabolic pathway of phospholipids, with amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism being crucial components in the process of creating polar head groups. Metal ions are critical for either directly influencing strain growth or governing genes connected to biosurfactants production. This review explores the synthesis pathways of various biosurfactants and examines the influence of different metal ions on their production.
