Energies, 2020 Surfactin, which is an anionic bio-surfactant, can be effective for enhanced oil recovery because it decreases interfacial tension between oil and water. However, it forms precipitation by binding with divalent cations.

Interactions of surfactin with membrane models
Biophysical Journal, 1995 Surfactin, an acidic cyclic lipopeptide produced by strains of Bacillus subtilis, is a powerful biosurfactant possessing biological activities. Interactions of ionized surfactin (two negative charges) with lecithin vesicles have been monitored by changes in its CD spectra. These changes are more important in the presence of Ca2+ ions.

The anti-thrombotic activity of surfactins
Journal of Veterinary Science, 2005 Platelet aggregation was inhibited and the density of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) clots was decreased by the preincubation of PRP with surfactins, an acidic lipopeptide of Bacillus subtilis complex BC1212 isolated from soybean paste, in dose-dependent manner.

Nanometer Scale Organization of Mixed Surfactin/Phosphatidylcholine Monolayers [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 1999 Mixed monolayers of the surface-active lipopeptide surfactin-C(15) and of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) were deposited on mica and their nanometer scale organization was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
