Natural surfactin is a mixture of cyclic lipopeptides built from variants of a heptapeptide and a beta-hydroxy fatty acid with chain lengths of 13-15 carbon atoms. The lipopeptide biosurfactant was produced by Bacillus subtilis OKB 105 and part of the material subjected to esterification of its Glu
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.
