Surfactin Facilitates Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Genetic competence for the uptake and integration of extracellular DNA is a key process in horizontal gene transfer (HGT), one of the most powerful forces driving the evolution of bacteria. In several species, development of genetic competence is coupled with cell lysis.

Surfactin and surfactin-like production, purification, and application at marine environments
, 2022 Surfactin, a biosurfactant with great activity on interfaces, have been reported as a great substitute to non-renewable sources, non-biologically synthesized surfactants. It is expected to see more studies at the next years evolving its application, including on marine environments, especially ones impacted with petroleum or other contaminants. In this

Isolation and characterization of a new variant of surfactin, the [Val7]surfactin [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1991 Reinvestigation of surfactin, a previously studied peptidolipid surfactant from Bacillus subtilis, by fast‐atom‐bombardment mass spectrometry and 1H‐NMR spectroscopy, as well as by chemical methods, revealed the presence of a closely related second constituent. This new compound, [Val7]surfactin, differs from the known surfactin by the C‐terminal amino

Enrichment and Isolation of Surfactin-degrading Bacteria
Journal of Oleo Science, 2021 A total of 100 environmental samples were investigated for their ability to degrade 1 g/L surfactin as a substrate. Among them, two enrichment cultures, which exhibited microbial growth as well as surfactin degradation, were selected and further investigated.

Optimization of fermentation conditions for surfactin production by B. subtilis YPS-32
BMC Microbiology, 2023 Background Surfactin produced by microbial fermentation has attracted increasing attention because of its low toxicity and excellent antibacterial activity. However, its application is greatly limited by high production costs and low yield. Therefore, it
