Biosurfactant from Candida: sources, classification, and emerging applications.

Biosurfactants are surface-active molecules that are synthesized by many microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, and yeast. These molecules are amphiphilic in nature, possessing emulsifying ability, detergency, foaming, and surface-activity like characteristics. Yeast species belongs to the genus Candida has gained globally enormous interest because of the diverse properties of biosurfactants produced by theme.

Evaluation of In Vivo toxicity of Novel Biosurfactant from Candida parapsilosis loaded in PLA-PEG Polymeric Nanoparticles.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicological profile of biosurfactant encapsulated polymeric nanoparticles of Polylactic acid-Polyethylene glycol (PLA-PEG) in mice. Hematological, biochemical and histopathological samples of rodents were evaluated. Mice were selected randomly and divided into 3 treatment groups and one control group.
