Fengycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic produced by certain strains of Bacillus subtilis. It is known for its strong antifungal properties, particularly against filamentous fungi, while exhibiting low toxicity to humans and other animals. Fengycin acts by disrupting fungal cell membranes, inhibiting spore germination, and impeding hyphal growth, making it effective in agricultural biocontrol as a natural pesticide. It consists of a unique structure with both a cyclic peptide and a fatty acid tail, contributing to its membrane-targeting capabilities. Fengycin is of great interest in developing eco-friendly solutions for controlling plant pathogens and promoting sustainable agriculture.
