Abstract excerpt
A novel surfactin producer, Bacillus subtilis THY-7, was isolated from soil. Using liposomes and transmembrane transport inhibitors, the surfactin efflux in THY-7 was determined to be mainly dependent on proton motive force (PMF), not ATP hydrolysis. YcxA, KrsE and YerP, three putative lipopeptid...
