ABSTRACT
All countries are concerned about agricultural output in order to meet the growing demands of the human population. The use of green chemicals in order to achieve sustainable agriculture is now a requirement. Green surfactants are amphiphilic secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms. Marine bacteria have lately emerged as a rich source for these natural compounds, which have surface-active qualities and can be used as detergents, wetting and foaming agents, solubilizers, emulsifiers, and dispersants. Because biosurfactants are less harmful and environmentally benign, they have the potential to be commercially manufactured for a wide range of uses in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries. The biosurfactants produced by environmental isolates have a prospective application in agriculture. Biosurfactants can be used to improve the quality of agricultural soils through soil remediation. These biomolecules have the potential to replace the harsh surfactants currently utilized in the multibillion-dollar pesticide industry. Exploring biosurfactants from environmental isolates for the purpose of determining their potential involvement in plant growth promotion and other agricultural uses necessitates further investigation.
