Only a few species of fungi are identified for the production of biosurfactants in comparison to bacterial species. Some of the typical fungal strains explored for the production of biosurfactants, as investigated by researchers are, Candida bombicola [40], Candida ishiwadae [41], Candida lipolytica [42], Candida batistae [43], Aspergillus ustus [44], and Trichosporon ashii [45]. The best part of these fungal strains is that they have produced biosurfactants using low‐cost raw materials as their growth substrate. Glycolipids and sophorolipids are one of the most important class of biosurfactants produced by these fungal strains. The various biofactants produced by fungi are shown in Table 4.2.
