Gene Expression and Characterization of Iturin A Lipopeptide Biosurfactant from Bacillus aryabhattai for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Gels, 2022
Biosurfactants are eco-friendly surface-active molecules recommended for enhanced oil recovery techniques. In the present study, a potential lipopeptide (biosurfactant) encoding the iturin A gene was synthesized from Bacillus aryabhattai.

Adjuvant lipopeptide interaction with model membranes

, 1998
The cationic lipohexapeptide Pam3Cys–Ser–(Lys)4 is a synthetic model for the triacylated N-terminal part of bacterial lipoproteins, and it is used as an adjuvant and macrophage activator.

Self‐Assembling Cationic Lipopeptides for the Construction of Functional Vesicular Gene‐Delivery Systems

Small, EarlyView.
Cationic lipopeptides self‐assemble into stable, cell‐like vesicles that merge peptide programmability with lipid self‐organization. These biocompatible compartments efficiently sequester and deliver nucleic acids, enabling high transfection efficiency with low‐toxicity in both HEK293T cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Prospection for potential new non-ribosomal peptide gene clusters in Bacillus genus isolated from fermented foods and soil through genome mining

Frontiers in Microbiology
Experimental studies, though often very costly, lead to the discovery of known antimicrobial products. Yet, pathogenic microorganisms are proving increasingly resistant to pre-existing antimicrobial molecules, and this is a cause for worldwide concern ...

Seven New and Two Known Lipopeptides as well as Five Known Polyketides: The Activated Production of Silent Metabolites in a Marine-Derived Fungus by Chemical Mutagenesis Strategy Using Diethyl Sulphate

Marine Drugs, 2014
AD-2-1 is an antitumor fungal mutant obtained by diethyl sulfate mutagenesis of a marine-derived Penicillium purpurogenum G59. The G59 strain originally did not produce any metabolites with antitumor activities in MTT assays using K562 cells.

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
