Molecular genetics of surfactin and its effects on different sub-populations of Bacillus subtilis

Biotechnology Reports, 2021
Surfactin is a biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis. The srfA operon, Sfp gene, and two quorum sensing systems are required for its production. The master regulator spo0A also plays an indispensable role in proper surfactin synthesis.
