中文摘要：

生物表面活性剂由于其低毒、可降解、环境友好等特点已经被人们认可并逐渐受到关注,但是由于其生产成本较高限制了生物表面活性剂产业的发展。为此,近年来一些研究开始致力于以各种废弃物为原料发酵生产生物表面活性剂。文章对国内外使用废弃物作为微生物发酵原料的研究进展进行了综合评价,并在此基础上对未来研发前景特别是对可能作为生物发酵原料的非传统型基质做了展望分析。

英文摘要：

Bio-surfactants have been gradually recognized and received growing concerns due to the low toxicity and biodegradable and environmental-friendly features. However, the relatively high production cost has significantly limited the development and application of the bio-surfactant industry. Consequent/y, recent studies have focused on various wastes as raw materials to produce bio-surfactants. This paper comprehensively reviewed the research progress across the word about waste-based bio-surfactants production and further probed into the future research and development trends and particularly the potential of using unconventional wastes.
