Sustainable Surfactin Production by Bacillus subtilis Using Crude Glycerol from Different Wastes

Molecules, 2021
Most biosurfactants are obtained using costly culture media and purification processes, which limits their wider industrial use. Sustainability of their production processes can be achieved, in part, by using cheap substrates found among agricultural and

Surfactin induces maturation of dendritic cells in vitro [PDF]

Bioscience Reports, 2016
Surfactin has multiple immune activities, such as triggering immune-related defense responses and enhancing humoral and cellular immune responses. Although, the mechanisms are still unclear. The maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) is essential for inducing downstream immune response.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

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
