 Insertion of several surfactin molecules into the membrane can lead to the formation of mixed micelles by self-association and bilayer influenced by fatty chain hydrophobicity ultimately leading to bilayer solubilization.Surfactin has a nonspecific mode of action, which originates both benefits and disadvantages.It is advantageous in the sense that surfactin can act on many kinds of cell membranes, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative.
