This book explores the development of novel marine biosurfactants. The book also covers the utilization of marine surfactants for biological and biomedical, and environmental applications.

Marine Surfactants: Preparations and Applications aims to examine every aspect of marine derived surfactants.The first part of the book discusses the isolation of marine surfactants from various organisms include marine bacteria, algae, cyanobacteria and so on. The editors also examine the cultivation of marine microorganisms and the harvesting of other natural biological resources from the sea. The next part of the book discusses the application marine surfactants, including oil spill removal in the sea, bioremediation of polluted water and soil, treatments for breast cancer, restoration of marine environments, nanoparticles synthesis, and development of different kinds of emulsifiers. With contributions from world-renowned experts in the field, this book will be an essential resource in understanding and developing various marine-derived surfactants.

This book is intended for researchers and marine biotechnologists as well as medical practitioners working on a vast range of industrial and medical applications using marine materials. It would also be useful for students looking to understand the utilization of marine derived surfactants.

Se-Kwon Kim, Ph.D., is presently working as a Distinguished Professor in Hanyang University and previously Korea Maritime and Ocean University and Research advisor of Kolmar Korea Company. He worked as Professor at Department of Marine Bio Convergence Science and Technology and Director of Marine Bioprocess Research Center (MBPRC) at Pukyong National University, Busan, South Korea.
He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Pukyong National University and conducted his postdoctoral studies at the Laboratory of Biochemical Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, USA. Later, he became a visiting scientist at the Memorial University of Newfoundland and University of British Colombia in Canada.
Dr. Kim served as president of the ‘Korean Society of Chitin and Chitosan’ in 1986-1990, and the ‘Korean Society of Marine Biotechnology’ in 2006-2007. To the credit for his research, he won the best paper award from the American Oil Chemists’ Society in 2002. Dr. Kim was also the chairman for ‘7th Asia-pacific Chitin and Chitosan Symposium’, which was held in South Korea in 2006. He was the chief-editor in the ‘Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Science’ during 2008-2009. In addition, he is the board member of International Society of Marine Biotechnology Associations (IMBA) and International Society of Nutraceuticals and Functional Food (ISNFF).
His major research interests are investigation and development of bioactive substances from marine resources. His immense experience of marine bio-processing and mass-production technologies for marine bio-industry is the key asset of holding majorly funded Marine Bio projects in Korea. Furthermore, he expended his research fields up to the development of bioactive materials from marine organisms for their applications in oriental medicine, cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals. To this date, he has authored around 750 research papers, 70 books, and 120 patents.

Kyung-Hoon Shin, Ph.D., is currently Professor at the Department of Marine Sciences and Convergent Technology, and Director of the Institute of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Hanyang University. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Hanyang University, South Korea, and got his M.Sc. from Nagoya University and Ph.D. degrees from Hokkaido University, Japan. He worked as a research scientist in Frontier Observational Research System of Global Change/International Arctic Research Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks (dispatched from Japan Marine Science and Technology Center, JAMSTEC), and obtained the Outstanding Research Accomplishment Award of Frontier Observational Research System for Global Change/JAMSTEC in 2002.
He served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Korean Journal of Ecology and Environment in 2011–2018, and is the Associated Editor of Geochemical Journal, Marine Drugs, and Frontiers in Marine Science, and also served the Guest Editor of Polar Science, and Marine Drugs. Based on his research performance (around 210 research papers, 6 patents), he received numerous academic awards during the last 10 years. He won the best paper award of Korean Society of Oceanography in 2011, the Outstanding Research Academic Award of Korean Society of Limnology, and the Best Paper Award of Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies in 2012, the Best Academic Award of Hanyang University, the Yeochon Academic Award for Ecology in 2015, and the Best Cited Paper Award of Hanyang University in 2018.
His broad scientific interests include stable isotope ecology, marine biogeochemistry, organic carbon cycle, environmental safety and food forensics, organic geochemistry, pollution trace, environmental chemistry and contaminant bioaccumulation, production and fate of bio-toxins.
