“…Although Micrococcus spp. are involved in some human infections, these bacteria are often described in the literature as being isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated environments (Malik and Ahmed, 2012), producing biosurfactants (Palme et al, 2010;Tuleva et al, 2009) and being used in bioremediation studies (Silva-Castro et al, 2012).…”

Glycosylated lipids (GLs) are added-value lipid derivatives of great potential. Besides their interesting surface activities that qualify many of them to act as excellent ecological detergents, they have diverse biological activities with promising biomedical and cosmeceutical applications. Glycolipids, especially those of microbial origin, have interesting antimicrobial, anticancer, antiparasitic as well as immunomodulatory activities. Nonetheless, GLs are hardly accessing the market because of their high cost of production. We believe that experience of metabolic engineering (ME) of microbial lipids for biofuel production can now be harnessed towards a successful synthesis of microbial GLs for biomedical and other applications. This review presents chemical groups of bacterial and fungal GLs, their biological activities, their general biosynthetic pathways and an insight on ME strategies for their production.
