Surfactin: Biosynthesis, Genetics and Potential Applications
2010Even after forty years of its discovery by Arima et al, surfactin, a potent lipopeptide biosurfactant, still attracts attention and fancy of the applied microbiologists and biotechnologists worldwide, mainly due to its versatile bioactive properties and potential industrial implications.

Lichenysin: A More Efficient Cation Chelator Than Surfactin
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2001The lipopeptide lichenysin (cyclo-[L-Gln1-->D-Leu2-->L-Leu3-->L-Val4--> L-Asp5-->D-Leu6-->L-Ile7-beta-OH fatty acid]) produced by Bacillus licheniformis structurally resembles surfactin from Bacillus subtilis. The main difference is the presence of a glutaminyl residue in position 1 of the peptide sequence in place of glutamic acid in surfactin.

Surfactin and Other Lipopeptides from Bacillus spp.
2010Isolated during 1950s and 1960s, the group of lipopeptides from Bacillus spp. gather more than 30 different peptides linked to various fatty acid chains. More than a 100 different compounds can so be described. In this chapter, they are classified into four main families: the surfactins, the iturins, the fengycins or plipastatins and the kurstakins ...

Biochimie, 1992
Iturin A and surfactin are two lipopeptides extracted from a same strain of Bacillus subtilis. Iturin A possesses antibiotic and antifungal activities and surfactin is a strong surfactant. The presence of surfactin, at a concentration at which, alone, it is inactive, increases to a very large extent the haemolysis percent induced by iturin A.

Mn2 + improves surfactin production by Bacillus subtilis
Biotechnology Letters, 2002Surfactin productivity by Bacillus subtilis was increased from 0.33 g l−1 to 2.6 g l−1 by adding 0.01 mM Mn2+ to a defined glucose medium. The final yield exceeded that of most reported values for genetically improved strains.

Rhamnolipid and surfactin inhibit Listeria monocytogenes adhesion
Food Research International, 2011The aim of this study was to assess the potential use of biosurfactants in inhibiting the Listeria monocytogenes strains adhesion to polystyrene surfaces. Surfactin and rhamnolipids were used. The adhesion profiles of 15 strains showed that most of these bacteria can be classified as moderate to strongly adherent.

Controlled biosynthesis of Val7- and Leu7-surfactins
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1992Surfactin was found to consist of a mixture of two groups of homologous lipopeptides differing by their peptide sequence; Val7-surfactin was recently characterized as a minor companion of the previously described Leu7-surfactin. The addition of various α-amino acids to the culture media led to variations in the production ratios of the two congeners ...
