ResumoANTIBIOFILM AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES.Due to the importance of biofilms in the food industry, new products are being developed to enhance the efficiency of cleaning food-contact surfaces.Biosurfactants could be an alternative to synthetic products.The major advantages of biosurfactants over synthetic detergents are their low toxicity and highly biodegradable nature.Biosurfactants may also exhibit antimicrobial, anti-adhesive and anticorrosive activity concomitantly.In this review, we emphasize the potential application of biosurfactants as surface coating agents to prevent corrosion and decrease planktonic and sessile microbial growth.
