1. Molecular Design and Biological Origins 1.1 Structural Diversity and Amphiphilic Design (Biosurfactants) Biosurfactants are a heterogeneous group of surface-active molecules generated by microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, defined by their one-of-a-kind amphiphilic framework comprising both hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains. Unlike synthetic surfactants originated from petrochemicals, biosurfactants show exceptional structural variety, varying from glycolipids […]

Ilan Zerbib, former Director of Engineering for Payments at Shopify, founded Sapiom to address this by building a financial […]
