title: Detection and characterization of the Gloeosporium gloeosporioides growth inhibitory compound iturin A from Bacillus subtilis strain KS03.
abstract: The Bacillus subtilis strain KS03 was isolated, and identified as a biological control agent that inhibits the anthracnose disease fungus Gloeosporium gloeosporioides. The antifungal compound was purified from its culture broth through butanol extraction, diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) Sepharose CL-6B chromatography, and preparative thin layer chromatography. Tandem mass spectrometric analyses (MS/MS), with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time-of-fight/time-of-flight (TOF/TOF) mass spectrometry, showed that the antifungal compound was iturin A, a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic. The major compound, with a molecular mass of 1042 Da, was identified as iturin A(2).
