Table 2. Effect of carbon sources on viable count and surfactin level of B. licheniformis in fermentation.

	B. licheniformis-fermented products
	Total viable count (CFU/g)²	Surfactin (mg/g)
2% glucose¹	6.4×10⁹±1.2×10^9,b	5.78±0.78^ab
1% molasses	7.2×10⁹±0.2×10^9,b	4.29±0.56^b
2% molasses	1.3×10¹¹±0.5×10^10,a	6.22±0.69^a

The initial concentration of B. licheniformis is 5×10⁷ CFU/mL.

Data are expressed as mean±standard deviation (n=3).

Different letters indicate a statistically significant difference between groups (P<0.05).
