Premature babies may suffer from respiratory distress syndrome because they do not produce enough surfactin, a substance that helps keep the air sacs in the lungs open. This makes it difficult for them to breathe and can lead to respiratory distress syndrome. Heart irregularities, incomplete gross motor control, and inability to digest certain foods are not directly related to the production of surfactin.
