Rhamnolipids synthesis from glucose. a Glucose can be converted into dTDP-l-rhamnose which serves as the sugar moiety and Acyl-CoA which can be produced from glucose and converted into the hydrophobic moiety. Some important enzymes such as glucose-1-phosphate thymidyltransferase (RmlA), dTDP-d-glucose-4,6-dehydratase (RmlB), dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose-3,5-epimerase (RmlC), and dTDP-4-keto-l-rhamnose reductase (RmlD) [149] are shown. b Chemical structures of mono- and di-rhamnolipid
