Characterization of a newly isolated biosurfactant fengycin produced by Heyndrickxia coagulans strain.

ABSTRACT: One of the major global concerns in human and veterinary medicine at present is the antimicrobial resistance to conventional antibiotics. Natural products from microbial sources appear to be the most favorable alternative to current antibiotics. Biosurfactants (BSs) are surface-active compounds synthesised by a wide variety of microorganisms. Fengycin is an important member of the lipopeptide family, with a wide range of applications in different industries and a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microbes. The production of fengycin has been detected in various strains of Bacillus spp., but to our knowledge, not in Heyndrickxia coagulans. Strain H. coagulans (formerly known as B. coagulans) Biocenol™ 9FT27 CCM 9014, which exhibited surfactant activity as assessed
