Synthetic surfactin analogues have improved anti-PEDV properties.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Surfactin has antiviral activity against various enveloped viruses by inhibiting viral membrane fusion. However, the potential utility of surfactin as an antiviral drug is limited by its cytotoxicity.

Surfactin Shows Relatively Low Antimicrobial Activity against Bacillus subtilis and Other Bacterial Model Organisms in the Absence of Synergistic Metabolites

Microorganisms, 2022
Surfactin is described as a powerful biosurfactant and is natively produced by Bacillus subtilis in notable quantities. Among other industrially relevant characteristics, antimicrobial properties have been attributed to surfactin-producing Bacillus ...

Comparative efficacy of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus altitudinis TM22 and Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 on the suppression of Fusarium wilt of cotton. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Co‐application of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 suppressed Fusarium wilt of cotton. Seed biopriming with Bacillus strains performed better than soil drenching. TM22 + MCM61 improved vegetative and physiological aspects in cotton plants. TM22 + MCM61 enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and defense gene expression.

Characterization of the NRPS operon homolog for surfactin A and surfactin C synthesis in Bacillus spp. [PDF]

Arch Microbiol
Abstract Surfactin is a cyclic lipopeptide produced by Bacillus spp., consisting of a β-hydroxy fatty acid and a heptapeptide synthesized by non-ribosomal peptide synthetases. Surfactin congeners (A, B, and C) differ in amino acid substitutions, with Leu7 in surfactin A replaced by Val in B and Ile in C.
