Nanomaterials have emerged as antimicrobial agents due to their unique physical and
chemical properties. The development of nanoparticles (NPs) composed of natural
biopolymers and biosurfactants have sparked interest, as they can be obtained without the
use of complex chemical synthesis and toxic materials. In this study, we develop
antimicrobial nanoparticles combining the biopolymer chitosan with the biosurfactant
rhamnolipid. Addition of rhamnolipid reduced the size and polydispersity index of chitosan …
