Destruction and solubilization of supported phospholipid bilayers on silica by the biosurfactant surfactin.

The lipopeptide surfactin from Bacillus subtilis strains exhibits strong surface and biological activity, the latter probably because of its interaction with biological membranes. We have investigated the interaction of aqueous solutions of surfactin with supported bilayers of diphosphatidylcholine...
