Abstract	Adsorption of surfactin, a powerful lipopeptide biosurfactant, at the air-liquid interface has been investigated in this article. The adsorption took place from buffered solutions containing relatively high concentrations of surfactin co- and counterions. Dynamic surface tension measurements were used to follow the self-assembly of surfactin at the interface until equilibrium surface pressure Π e is reached at a given surfactin concentration (C s). Gibbs adsorption equation in conjunction with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm was used to predict surfactin surface excess as a function of the biosurfactant concentration up to the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The predicted surface excess at saturation (Γ ∞ ) is 1.05 ± 0.05 μmol m−2, corresponding to an area per molecule (A ∞ ) of 159 ± 8 Å2. The adsorption equilibrium constant (K = (1.5 ± 0.6) × 106 M‐ 1) was also estimated from the nonlinear regression of Π e − C s data in region B of the Π e − ln C s plot. The value of K suggests that surfactin has strong affinity for the interface, which is in line with its known high surface activity. Gibbs elasticity (E G) of the interfacial surfactin monolayers, which is an important thermodynamic property, was also predicted at different surfactin concentrations. The limiting value (at the CMC) of E G was found to be 183 mN m−1, which is comparable to those reported in the literature for similar systems. The findings reported in this work reveal that the surface tension measurements coupled with appropriate theoretical analysis could provide useful information comparable to those obtained using highly sophisticated techniques.
