Rhamnolipid-biosurfactants are known to be produced by the genus Pseudomonas, however
recent literature reported that rhamnolipids (RLs) are distributed among diverse microbial
genera. To integrate the evolutionary implications of rhamnosyl transferase among various
groups of microorganisms, a comprehensive comparative motif analysis was performed
amongst bacterial producers. Findings on new RL-producing microorganism is helpful from a
biotechnological perspective and to replace infective P. aeruginosa strains which ultimately
ensure industrially safe production of RLs. Halotolerant biosurfactants are required for efficient
bioremediation of marine oil spills. An insight on the exploitation of marine microbes as the
potential source of RL biosurfactants is highlighted in the present review. An economic
production process, solid-state fermentation using agro-industrial and industrial waste would
increase the scope of biosurfactants commercialization. Potential and prospective applications
of RL-biosurfactants including hydrocarbon bioremediation, heavy metal removal, antibiofilm
activity/biofilm disruption and greener synthesis of nanoparticles are highlighted in this review.
