Mannosylerythritol lipids are glycolipid biosurfactants produced mainly by Pseudozyma and some Ustilago species (Figure 14.5). 

They are considered as one of the most promising biosurfactants due to their excellent surface activity and versatile biochemical funaions. Mannosylerythritol lipids exhibit diverse functional properties, which reveal their appHcations in therapeutics, cosmetics, biomedical studies, and energy efficient technologies. Potential applications of mannosylerythritol lipids are shown in Table 14.2. ...

The antibacterial activity of mannosylerythritol lipids can be exploited in preparation of feed additives for live stocks. Apart from preventing the infectious diseases caused by gram-positive bacteria, mannosylerythritol lipids contribute to the improvement in overall health of live stocks. Mannosylerythritol lipids are commercially available from Biotopia Co., Ltd, a South Korea-based biotech company andToyobo/J.
