Microorganisms are identified as the most important source for production of biosurfactants. Willumsen and Karlson [33] in their study found that many of the biosurfactant‐producing microorganisms are hydrocarbon degraders. The proficiency of microbial biosurfactant in the bioremediation as well as in the enhanced oil recovery have been researched extensively [34]. The verities of substrate used for common biosurfactant production is represented in Figure 4.2.
