Abstract
Natural surfactins are a mixture of isoforms that differ slightly in their physiological properties. In previous research, we obtained surfactin A, B, C, and D from the Bacillus subtilis complex BC1212. We found that surfactin C inhibited nitric oxide (NO)-production and suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA, which was stimulated by
