Abstract	Endophytic bacteria, residing within plant tissues without causing harm, have emerged as a promising source of biosurfactants due to their ability to produce surface-active compounds with diverse applications. This study explores the biosurfactant-producing potential of bacterial endophytes isolated from wild and weed plants. The isolates were screened for biosurfactant production using qualitative assays Oil spreading/displacement test, drop collapse test, Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) agar method, Lipolytic activity, Chemical characterization of type of bio-surfactant, and Emulsification assay techniques E24%. This research underscores the untapped potential of endophytic bacteria as sustainable sources of biosurfactants, paving the way for eco-friendly solutions in various biotechnological fields.
