Biosurfactant Production and its Role in Candida albicans Biofilm Inhibition
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020 Biosurfactants are surface active compounds, which may be of microbial, animal or plant origin. They are typically less toxic and less persistent than the synthetically derived surfactants.

Antimicrobial Activity of the Quinoline Derivative HT61 against Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms. [PDF]
, 2020 Staphylococcus aureus biofilms are a significant problem in health care settings, partly due to the presence of a nondividing, antibiotic-tolerant subpopulation. Here we evaluated treatment of S.

Ultrashort antibacterial and antifungal lipopeptides [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 Host-defense cationic antimicrobial peptides (≈12–50 aa long) play an essential protective role in the innate immune system of all organisms. Lipopeptides, however, are produced only in bacteria and fungi during cultivation, and they are composed of specific lipophilic moieties attached to anionic peptides (six to seven amino acids)

A truncated lipoglycan from mycobacteria with altered immunological properties [PDF]
, 2010 Maintenance of cell-wall integrity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is essential and is the target of several antitubercular drugs. For example, ethambutol targets arabinogalactan and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) biosynthesis through the inhibition of several ...

Lipopeptide overproduction by cell immobilization on iron-enriched light polymer particles [PDF]
, 2009 The study concerns surfactin and/or fengycin batch production by immobilized cells of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 21332. Light carriers designed for a three phase inverse fluidized bed biofilm reactor (TPFIBR) were used.

Genotoxicity of cationic lipopeptide nanoparticles
Toxicology Letters, 2020 The genotoxicity of cationic lipopeptide nanoparticles (cLPNPs) was evaluated in vivo and in vitro comet assay and the in vivo chromosome aberrations test. In vitro comet assay, human blood cells were exposed to cLPNPs at the concentration of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 100 μg/mL.

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF LIPOPEPTIDES [PDF]
Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2018 Abstract The constantly growing number of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains prompts the search for alternative treatments. Synthetic peptides based on natural antimicrobial peptides, also known as antimicrobial lipopeptides, can become a promising group of “drugs” to fight multi-resistant bacteria.

Strategies for administration of biosurfactants-producing pseudomonads in closed hydroponic systems [PDF]
, 2011 Zoospore-producing oomycetes are major plant pathogens of particular concern in hydroponic systems. Compared with pesticides, biocontrol using antagonistic microorganisms is a sustainable approach to control oomycetes.
