Book Chapter Description

The textile industries are responsible for the inadequate discarding of diverse dyes in the industrial effluents, causing serious damage to the environment. The application of biological treatments in the last decades, using several microorganisms has been reported as the potential use of bioactive compounds. Biosurfactants stand out among them and can be obtained from different sources such as plants, bacteria, filamentous fungi, and yeasts. Due to its biodegradability and low toxicity, it has led to the intensification of scientific studies in a wide range of applications in various industrial segments. This chapter provided a review of the main environmental impacts caused by the textile industry, conventional treatments used in textile treatment, and application of biosurfactants for the treatment of environments contaminated with textile waste and industrial processes.
