ABSTRACT:
A method of treating an electrocoating process by exposing at least a portion of the process to a biosurfactant admixed in a solution. Methods of treating a surface of an apparatus within an electrocoating operation using a biosurfactant to remove or prevent sessile microorganism growth on the apparatus are provided.
