Enhanced biosurfactant production by a mutant Bacillus subtilis strain

Ultraviolet mutation of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 21332 yielded a stable mutant that produced over three times more of the biosurfactant, surfactin, than the parent strain. By protoplast fusing the mutant (Suf-1) with the marker strain, B. subtilis BGSC strain IA28, the mutation was located between arg...

Zusammenfassung:	Ultraviolet mutation of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 21332 yielded a stable mutant that produced over three times more of the biosurfactant, surfactin, than the parent strain. By protoplast fusing the mutant (Suf-1) with the marker strain, B. subtilis BGSC strain IA28, the mutation was located between argC4 and hisA1 on the genetic map.
