Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Surfactin, a good biological surfactant, is derived from the metabolites of microorganisms. However, the ability of natural strains to produce surfactin is low, and so the presented study aimed to use a novel mutagenesis technology to increase their yields. RESULTS: Atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) was used to conduct mutation breeding of Bacillus subtilis CICC 10721, and a mutant strain...
