“…While the majority of biosurfactant‐related work is focussed on biosurfactants that are produced extracellularly by micro‐organisms much less work has been carried out on cell‐bound biosurfactants many of which are produced by, for example, probiotic Lactobacilli strains which have the added advantage of being nontoxic, biodegradable and environmentally friendly (Satpute et al . ).

Synthetic surfactants are becoming increasingly unpopular in many applications due to previously disregarded effects on biological systems and this has led to a new focus on replacing such products with biosurfactants that are biodegradable and produced from renewal resources. Microbially derived biosurfactants have been investigated in numerous studies in areas including: increasing feed digestibility in an agricultural context, improving seed protection and fertility, plant pathogen control, antimicrobial activity, antibiofilm activity, wound healing and dermatological care, improved oral cavity care, drug delivery systems and anticancer treatments. The development of the potential of biosurfactants has been hindered somewhat by the myriad of approaches taken in their investigations, the focus on pathogens as source species and the costs associated with large‐scale production. Here, we focus on various microbial sources of biosurfactants and the current trends in terms of agricultural and biomedical applications.

“…This innate protection is also partly related to the presence of biosurfactantreleasing microorganisms such as Streptococcus mitis, which effectively discourages the adherence of S. mutans, an important cariogenic bacterium (Reid et al 2011). A similar important role in the innate maintenance of oral health is also carried out by some Lactobacillus species (Haukioja 2010) some of which are known to be biosurfactant producers (Satpute et al 2016b).…”

One sentence summary: Biosurfactant properties including antimicrobial activity, emulsion formation and the ability to increase bioavailability of hydrophobic compounds make them potential candidates for use in cosmetic, therapeutic, oral hygiene and medical devices. Editor: Geertje van Keulen ABSTRACTBiosurfactants are naturally produced molecules that demonstrate potentially useful properties such as the ability to reduce surface tensions between different phases. Besides having similar properties to their artificial chemical counterparts, they are regarded as environmental friendly, biodegradable and less toxic, which make them desirable candidates for downstream applications. The structure-activity-related properties of the biosurfactants which are directly correlated with potency of the biosurfactants as antimicrobial agents, the ability of the biosurfactants to alter surface energies and their ability to increase bioavailability are particularly what attract researchers to exploit their potential use in the oral-related health applications. Current research into biosurfactant indicates significant future potential for use in cosmetic and therapeutic oral hygiene product formulations and related medical device treatments.

Synbiotics are a combination of probiotic bacteria and the growth promoting prebiotic ingredients that purport "synergism".Probiotics are well known for their ability to restore a healthful balance of commensal microbes supporting the repair of hyper-permeable epithelial barriers and interfering with infection. The present research was designed to evaluate the anti-virulence role of cell-free supernatants of synbiotic cultures.The effect of prebiotics fructo-oligosaccharide, inulin and isomaltose on probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus reuteri and Saccharomyces boulardii growth, fermentation products has been investigated. Cell-free supernatants of synbiotics cultures have been studied for their antimicrobial, antibiofilm and anti-adhesion properties. Results highlight that prebiotics can enhance the antimicrobial and anti-virulence activities of probiotics against potential pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.The present research supports, for the first time, the value of anti-virulence activity of metabolites produced by synbiotics suggesting their use as a suitable adjuvant in antibacterial treatment.
