Glycolipids are the most common type of biosurfactants and consist of mono‐, di‐, tri‐, and tetrasaccharides. The saccharides include glucose, mannose, galactose, glucuronic acid, rhamnose, and galactose sulphate. Some of the microorganisms usually have the same fatty acids and phospholipid composition [49, 50]. Carbohydrates in combination with long‐chain aliphatic acids or hydroxyaliphatic acids are the key component of glycolipids [26]. According to Karanth et al. [51], rhamnolipids, trehalolipids, and sophorolipids are the best‐known glycolipids.
