Wax esters, fatty acids, <strong>and</strong> fatty alcohols are designated by number of C atoms (left of colon) <strong>and</strong><br />

number of cis double bonds (right of colon).<br />

4. Biosurfactants<br />

Yeasts, molds, <strong>and</strong> bacteria are known to produce a wide variety of extracellular<br />

glycolipids <strong>and</strong> other surface-active substances, which are termed biosurfactants<br />

(4,41,42).<br />

Table 7 summarizes the microorganisms <strong>and</strong> the carbon sources used for the<br />

production of several important biosurfactants.<br />

Two common forms of sophorolipids formed from glucose <strong>and</strong> palm oil are<br />

composed of a glycoside of the disaccharide sophorose in which 17-hydroxystearic<br />

acid is bound glycosidically at the hydroxyl group or as a lactone in which 17hydroxystearic<br />

acid is bound to sophorose both glycosidically at the hydroxyl group<br />

<strong>and</strong> as an ester at the carboxyl end (Fig. 1). Sophorolipids from some microorganisms<br />

contain 13-hydroxydocosanoate as the constituent hydroxy acid (4).<br />

A few common forms of rhamnolipids (Fig. 2) obtained from soybean oil as<br />

carbon source consist of rhamnose bound glycosidically to 3-hydroxy fatty acids <strong>and</strong><br />

their estolides.<br />

Cellobiose lipids produced microbially from coconut oil as carbon source (Fig.<br />

3) contain fatty acids or 3-hydroxy fatty acids esterified at the 2-position of cellobiose<br />

<strong>and</strong> 15,16-dihydroxypalmitic acid bound glycosidically to cellobiose.<br />
