Surfactants obtained from bacteria, also known as biosurfactants, show many advantages when compared to synthetic surfactants: high biodegradability, low toxicity and they can function in drastic temperature and pH conditions. Rhamnolipids (RHLs) are biosurfactants produced mainly by Pseudomon…
Countless people worldwide are infected by dengue, chikungunya and zika virus daily, and all these diseases are transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which has caused thousands of deaths. In addition, there is growing concern about the relationship between zika virus and cases of microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. A conventional strategies for the control of arthropods involve…
Rhamnolipids (RLs) are biosurfactants produced by some bacteria, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Its structure consists of a glycolipid or two molecules of rhamnose in combination with hydrxyalcanoic acid (3-hydroxy or 3-HAs). The presence of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in the same molecule makes these compounds exhibit surface-active emulsifiers and interesting properties, maki…
