Molecular genetics of surfactin and its effects on different sub-populations of Bacillus subtilis
Biotechnology Reports (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 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.

Exploiting the ability of Bacillus subtilis to synthetize surfactin under oxygen limitation [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and BiotechnologySurfactin production by Bacillus subtilis is typically performed under aerobic conditions, requiring high aeration and agitation, which leads to mechanical stress for the cells and therefore promotes excessive foaming.
