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.

Surfactin: A Quorum-Sensing Signal Molecule to Relieve CCR in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bacillus utilize preferred sugars such as glucose over other carbon sources due to carbon catabolite repression (CCR). Surfactin is a small signal molecule to regulate the quorum-sensing (QS) response such as biofilm formation and sporulation in B ...

Interaction of Surfactin with Membranes: A Computational Approach
Langmuir, 2003 Modeling analysis was used to understand the molecular mechanisms of the biological activities of surfactin, in particular, its hemolytic activity. This study highlights the importance of the fatty acid chain hydrophobicity of the surfactin on its activities, the C15 homologue being the most active. This is related to its self-association capacity. The

Surfactin C inhibits platelet aggregation
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2006 Abstract This study was designed to investigate the effect of surfactin C, which is derived from Bacillus subtilis, on platelet aggregation and homotypic leucocyte aggregation. Surfactin C strongly and dose-dependently inhibited platelet aggregation, which was stimulated both by thrombin (0.1 U mL−1), a potent agonist that activates the ...

Available strategies for improving the biosynthesis of surfactin: a review
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2022 Surfactin is an excellent biosurfactant with a wide range of application prospects in many industrial fields. However, its low productivity and high cost have largely limited its commercial applications. In this review, the pathways for surfactin synthesis in Bacillus strains are summarized and discussed.
