ABSTRACT
The most often isolated and most thoroughly studied biosurfactants are the structural homogenous glycolipids, for example, sophorose lipids, rhamnolipids, and trehalose lipids. On the contrary, the group of lipopeptides/lipoproteins presents a heterogenous class of biologically active peptides. Table 1 gives a survey of lipopeptides and lipoproteins produced by non-Bacillus microorganisms described in the literature. As far as are available the compositions of the active compounds are indicated.
