Identification of Lipopeptide Iturin A Produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NCPSJ7 and Its Antifungal Activities against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NCPSJ7 showed potential fungicidal activities for the effective control of fungal infection. From the PCR test, the key genes (srfAA, sfp, fenD, bmyB, ituD, and ituC) were detected in B. amyloliquefaciens NCPSJ7. These genes were closely related to the lipopeptides (LPs) synthesis. Next, three LPs families were identified with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS), including iturin A, fengycin A, and surfactin. After purification with C18, the main active antifungal compound was proven to be C14-iturin A by ESI-HRMS, which has significant activities against fungi. These results proved that C14-iturin A played an important role in inhibiting the growth of fungi for B. amyloliquefaciens NCPSJ7
