The petrochemical industry is essential for many consumer goods currently in use. To implement
innovative biobased processes renewable resources are used as substitutes for crude oil in
goods such as cleaning agents. However biosurfactants are still expensive compared to their
chemically synthesized counterparts. In this work the exploitation of Pseudomonas putida for
the heterologous synthesis of rhamnolipids glycolipids with a high potential for industrial
applications was the main focus.
