This study identifies a novel pigment-producing biosynthetic gene cluster in Bacillus subtilis by genomic and spectroscopic analysis, expanding known secondary metabolite diversity.

This study shows plipastatin, produced by some Bacillus subtilis isolates, protects non-producing strains against Fusarium oxysporum in a density-dependent manner in co-cultures.

This study investigates the role of surfactin in pellicle biofilm formation in B. subtilis, finding that surfactin deletion delays pellicle formation, which is rescued by exogenous surfactin.
