Abstract
We show that the twist subgroup of a nonorientable surface of genus can be generated by two elements for every odd and even . Using these generators, we can also show that can be generated by two or three commutators depending on modulo . Moreover, we show that can be generated by three elements if . For this general case, the number of commutator generators is either three or four depending on modulo again.
