We have recently discussed self-assembly studies in binary systems of bio-surfactants of microbial origin, or saponins extracted from plants (Hellweg et al., Frontiers in Soft Matter, 2023, 2). In the present review, we focus on the formation of microemulsions based on these molecules. We review the formation and structure of microemulsion systems formed by oil, water, and biosurfactants, with a particular focus on Quillaja saponins and rhamnolipids. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-04244898/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-04244898/file/Biosurfactants_MiniReview_revised_05_12_22_final.pdf %L hal-04244898 %U https://hal.science/hal-04244898 %~ L2C %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ UM-EPE
