Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosurfactants, amphiphilic compounds produced by microorganisms, are molecules of significant interest due to their diverse applications and environmental importance. These compounds possess unique properties that enable them to reduce surface and interfacial tensions, making them valuable in various industrial, environmental, and biomedical fields.
This Special Issue, titled "Advancements in Biosurfactants: Production, Characterization and Multifaceted Applications", aims to collate cutting-edge research in the field of biosurfactants. This collection of articles will address crucial aspects such as biosurfactant production methodologies, advanced characterization techniques, and the broad spectrum of applications across various industries. Emphasizing the environmental and industrial significance of biosurfactants, this Special Issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of their roles in enhancing bioremediation, improving microbial enhanced oil recovery, and promoting sustainable practices. We invite contributions that showcase novel insights, methodologies, and real-world applications contributing to the continued evolution of biosurfactant science.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
