Among bacterial Kingdom, Streptomyces is one of the well-known and reliable sources due to cosmopolitan distribution and higher yield. In addition, its tolerance even at extreme pH and temperature, further support the utilization of low-cost residual ligno-cellulosic biomass as substrate. The presence of both hydrophilic and lipophilic moieties allows them to interact with both kinds of molecules and is responsible for their detergency, dispersing, emulsifying, and foaming characteristics. Application of biosurfactants is preferred over their synthetic counterparts as they are highly stable and tolerant to harsh environment, biodegradable, and exhibit low toxicity, making them suitable for use in a wide range of industrial activities such as healthcare, bioremediation, oil recovery, or food processing. In the last few years, the commercial applications of biosurfactants have considerably expanded, which resulted in an increased interest in exploring natural resources for hyper-production and cost-effective biosurfactant substrates. In this chapter, we define/summarize basic steps for optimization of biosurfactant production, purification, and characterization.
