Bioprospecting Indoor Bacteria Producing Bioactive Metabolites

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
The indoor environments served as easily accessible habitats for bacteria producing mitochondrial toxins and ionophores, effects exhibited by known antiparasitic drugs and effects useful in mitochondrial research. This study describes the bacterial species and genera producing toxic peptide antibiotics and identifies some of their biological targets in

Functional Implications of Marine Biosurfactants and Their Therapeutic Potential Against Alzheimer's Disease

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Marine‐derived biosurfactants produced by microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, and yeast) have amphiphilic properties that facilitate membrane interactions and transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). These biosurfactants exhibit neuroprotective activity by targeting mechanisms implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including reducing ...

Interaction of fengycin with stratum corneum mimicking model membranes: A calorimetry study

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2014
Based on its outstanding antifungal properties, it is reasonable to believe that fengycin might be efficient to topically treat localized dermatomycoses. Since most of the fungi species involved in the formation of those mycotic skin diseases colonize primarily the stratum corneum (SC), studying the interaction between fengycin and SC-mimicking lipid ...

Insights into the Mechanism of Fengycin, an Antimicrobial Lipopeptide using Multiscale Simulations [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2016
Fengycin is a class of antimicrobial fungicide, synthesized by the bacterial family, Bacillus, which functions by damaging the fungus’ cell membrane. Thus it is cumbersome for the bacteria to develop resistance against it. This makes fengycin a potential drug candidate and comprehending its mechanism of action is a crucial step in drug development ...

An Economical Bioprocess for Lipopeptide Production From Bacillus subtilis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The lipopeptide (LP) production potential of Bacillus isolates was evaluated against phytopathogenic fungi, with B. subtilis 4‐Ka‐22 identified as the top‐performing strain. Optimization of the production medium—comprising molasses, soybean meal, CaCl2, and glycerol—resulted in a 13.4‐fold increase in cell growth and over 99% cost reduction compared to
