Surfactin production genetic locus (sfp) is responsible for the ability of Bacillus subtilis to produce surfactin which is a lipopeptide biosurfactant. This study describesthe utilization of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of the sfp gene as a method for identifying B. subtilis species which able t...
