MEL-A is a glycolipid biosurfactant. MEL-A can be produced from vegetable oils by Pseudozyma yeasts. MEL-A can improve the low-temperature fluidity of biodiesel and hydrocarbon fuels. MEL-A is composed of a mixture of MEL-A isoforms with variable lengths of the fatty acid chain. MEL-A can significantly increases gene transfection by cationic liposomes via membrane fusion[1][2][3][4].
