The lipopeptides, surfactin and iturin, are co-produced by B. subtilis. In this work, the three subunits of surfactin synthetase have been characterized by affinity chromatography on affrgel columns where the ligand is one of the amino acid components of surfactin.
Bacillus subtilis coproduces several surfactin variants that are powerful biosurfactants and have potential applications in biology and industry. A single amino acid substitution in the heptapeptide moiety of surfaetins strongly modifies their properties. To better establish structure-activity relat
