CAS 102577-03-7: Fengycin

Description: Fengycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic produced by certain strains of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. It is primarily known for its antimicrobial properties, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria and some fungi. The structure of Fengycin consists of a cyclic peptide linked to a fatty acid tail, which contributes to its membrane-disrupting activity. This amphiphilic nature allows Fengycin to interact with lipid membranes, leading to cell lysis in susceptible organisms. Fengycin is also noted for its potential applications in agriculture as a biopesticide, as it can inhibit plant pathogens. Additionally, research has indicated that Fengycin may possess anti-biofilm properties, making it a candidate for combating biofilm-associated infections. Its biosynthesis is regulated by environmental factors, and it is produced in varying amounts depending on the growth conditions of the producing strain. Overall, Fengycin represents a significant area of interest in both microbiology and biotechnology due to its unique properties and potential applications.
