Abstract
⺠A biosurfactant produced by a Bacillus subtilis strain was characterized and compared with chemical surfactants. ⺠The biosurfactant was found to be as stable as the commercial chemical surfactants to temperature changes. ⺠It showed equal or higher emulsifying activity as compared to the chemical surfactants. ⺠Also, the anti-adhesive activity was higher than the commercial chemical surfactants. ⺠This biosurfactant constitutes an interesting alternative to the commercial chemical surfactants with potential use in several industries.
