The College of Science at the University of Basrah organized a seminar entitled (Biosurfactant from production to application).

The lecture aims to introduce biosurfactant, as they are bipolar chemical compounds that have a hydrophobic and hydrophilic part and have the ability to analyze and emulsify hydrocarbon compounds.  Industrial, medical, and even household uses, and compounds that are produced from microbes have properties that surpass their industrial counterparts, being less toxic, biodegradable, and effective even in extreme conditions of heat and acid.  The study focused on the compounds produced by filamentous bacteria because of the great importance of these bacteria in the production of various types of compounds of importance in the various fields of life.
