Produktinformation

• Name: Mycosubtilin
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Mycosubtilin is a potent antifungal lipopeptide, which is a secondary metabolite produced by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. It is characterized by its ability to disrupt fungal cell membranes, leading to cell lysis and eventual death of the fungus. This mode of action is attributed to its amphiphilic structure, which allows it to integrate into the lipid bilayers of fungal cells, compromising the integrity of the membrane and altering its permeability.Mycosubtilin finds applications in various scientific and agricultural fields due to its efficacy against a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens. It is particularly useful in plant disease management, where it plays a role in biocontrol strategies against phytopathogenic fungi. Additionally, its antifungal properties make it a subject of interest in pharmaceutical research, where it is investigated for potential therapeutic applications in combating fungal infections. Researchers also explore Mycosubtilin as a model compound to understand lipopeptide interactions with membranes, contributing to the broader knowledge of antimicrobial agents.
