Isolation of a gene essential for biosynthesis of the lipopeptide antibiotics plipastatin B1 and surfactin in Bacillus subtilis YB8

Bacillus subtilis YB8 was found to produce the lipopeptide antibiotics surfactin and plipastatin B1. A gene, lpa-8, required for the production of both lipopeptides was cloned from strain YB8. When this gene was inactivated in strain YB8, neither surfactin nor plipastatin B1 was produced. However, t...
