The lipopeptides of Bacillus are small metabolites that contain a cyclic structure formed by 7–
10 amino acids (including 2–4 d-amino acids) and a beta-hydroxy fatty acid with 13–19 C …

A lot of crops are destroyed by the phytopathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and yeast
leading to economic losses to the farmers. Members of the Bacillus genus are considered as …

This Feature Article discusses several classes of lipopeptide with important biomedical
applications as antimicrobial and antifungal agents, in immune therapies and in personal …

The use and potential commercial application of biosurfactants in the medical field has
increased during the past decade. Their antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities make …

The main commercial use of biosurfactants is in pollution remediation because of their ability
to stabilize emulsions. This enhances the solubility and availability of hydrophobic …

Surfactin, a cyclic lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by various strains of Bacillus genus,
has been shown to induce cytotoxicity against many cancer types, such as Ehrlich ascites …

Surfactin, a highly powerful biosurfactant produced by various strains of the genus Bacillus,
exhibits antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor and hemolytic action. This anionic cyclic …

Microorganisms produce active surface agents called lipopeptides (LPs) which are
amphiphilic in nature. They are cyclic or linear compounds and are predominantly isolated …

Surfactin has been known to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
However, the molecular mechanisms involved in surfactin-induced apoptosis remain poorly …

In this work a low cost medium for the production of a biosurfactant by Bacillus subtilis
LAMI005 and the kinetics of surfactin production considering the effect of initial substrate …
