Abstract
Rhamnolipid B and its precursor A, both microbial and membranous constituent, reversibly changed morphologies of their molecular aggregates from vesicles under acidic conditions, to lamella, lipid particles, and finally to micelles under weakly acidic conditions within a narrow pH range of about 5–7.Keywords
