Surfactin is a cyclic lipopeptide, commonly used as an antibiotic for its capacity as a surfactant.[2] It is an amphiphile capable of withstanding hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. The Gram-positive bacterial species Bacillus subtilis produces surfactin for its antibiotic effects against competitors.[3] Surfactin showcases antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and hemolytic effects.[4]
