Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Biomedical Application of Biosurfactant in Medical Sector highlights the numerous applications of biosurfactants in the field of medicine, especially as a replacement to synthetic drugs which have developed several levels of resistance over the years. Special emphasis is laid on their application as non-pyrogenic and non-toxic immunological adjuvants and their inhibitory characteristics against H+, K+, -ATPase and defense against gastric ulcers, along with their practical application as anti-adhesive coating agents for medical insert materials. The book addresses issues by combining knowledge of their production with information on a range of medical applications.
Drawing on the knowledge of its expert team of global contributors, this book provides useful insights for all those currently or potentially interested in developing or applying biosurfactants in their own work.

• Reflects on differing strains of fungi, bacteria, actinomycetes and yeast, and reviews genetic modification of such strains for enhanced biosurfactant production
• Explores the use of biosurfactants across a broad range of medical applications
• Provides mathematical modeling, metabolomics, bioinformatics, metabolic engineering, systems biology and computer technology for solving real-life challenges using biosurfactants
• Presents biosurfactants as an innovative green, biotechnological solution to improve human health
• Highlights the numerous applications of biosurfactants in the field of medicine, most especially as a replacement to synthetic drugs which have been reported to develop several levels of resistance over the years
