Rhamnolipids: Prospects of their Use for Phytoremediation
The data on rhamnolipids as biosurfactant, their molecular structure, some properties, genetics and regulation of their biosynthes are reviewed. The use of rhamnolipids in various industrial processes, in farm industry and for bioremediation is also discussed. A possibility to design plants that are capable of soil decontamination from heavy metals and oil by introduction the genes for the biosynthesis of rhamnolipids in them was shown.
