Mycocerein, a novel antifungal peptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus cereus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A peptide was obtained from culture filtrates of a bacterium which was newly isolated and tentatively named Bacillus cereus SW. The peptide was composed of Asx, Ser, Glx, Leu, Tyr, Pro, and an unknown amino acid in a ratio of 2:1:1:1:1:1:1, but, unless hydrolyzed with HCI, it was ninhydrin reaction negative. The peptide effectively inhibited the growth of all fungi and yeasts so far examined, whereas it inhibited none of the bacteria tested.

Molecular and biochemical detection of fengycin- and bacillomycin D-producing Bacillus spp., antagonistic to fungal pathogens of canola and wheat.
Bacillus species are well known for their ability to control plant diseases through various mechanisms, including the production of secondary metabolites. Bacillus subtilis DFH08, an antagonist of Fusarium graminearum, and other Bacillus spp. that are antagonists of common fungal pathogens of canola were screened for peptide synthetase biosynthetic genes of fengycin and bacillomycin D. Specific...
متن کاملProduction and partial purification of thermostable bacteriocins from Bacillus pumilus ZED17 and DFAR8 strains with antifungal activity
The bacteria which are members of the genus Bacillus are known to produce a wide variety of antimicrobial substances and bacteriocins. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of these bacteriocins on eukaryotic cells such as fungi, yeast and plant seeds. Several strains were screened for antifungal activities and identified by the means of polymerase chain reacti...

متن کاملYM-47522, a novel antifungal antibiotic produced by Bacillus sp. II. Structure and relative stereochemistry.
YM-47522 (1) was isolated from the fermentation broth of Bacillus sp. YL-03709B as an antifungal antibiotic. The structure of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. YM-47522 (1) consisted of C13 carboxylic acid amide and cinnamate moieties. The relative stereochemistry was also proposed on the basis of chemical transformation into a 1,3-diol acetonide and its NMR data.
