Biosurfactants are natural products produced by microorganisms. The biosurfactants have unique properties, such as, high surface activity, environmental friendliness, biodegradable and good anti-microbial activity, which chemical surfactants do not have. Herein the properties, classifications and preparation methods of biosurfactants are introduced in brief. The applications of biosurfactants in various fields such as petroleum exploit, environmental protection, preparation of medicals, food products as well as agriculture and cosmetics are summarized. The prospect in the development of the biosurfactants is predicted.
