Due to their numerous desirable qualities, antimicrobial lipopeptides have gained significant attention as promising candidates for antifungal drugs. In the present study, two bioactive lipopeptides (AF<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> and AF<jats:sub>5<\/jats:sub> m\/z 1071.5 and 1085.5, respectively), coproduced and purified from <jats:italic>Bacillus subtilis<\/jats:italic> RLID12.1, consist of seven amino acid residues with lipid moieties<jats:italic>.<\/jats:italic> In our previous studies, the reversed phased-HPLC purified lipopeptides demonstrated broad-spectrum of antifungal activities against over 110 <jats:italic>Candida albicans, Candida<\/jats:italic> non<jats:italic>-albicans<\/jats:italic> and mycelial fungi. Two lipopeptides triggered membrane permeabilization of <jats:italic>C. glabrata<\/jats:italic> cells, as confirmed by propidium iodide-based flow cytometry, with PI uptake up to 99% demonstrating fungicidal effects. Metabolic inactivation in treated cells was confirmed by FUN-1-based confocal microscopy. Together, the results indicate that these lipopeptides have potentials to be developed into a new set of antifungals for combating fungal infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/abp.2024.11999","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,31]],"date-time":"2024-01-31T13:07:17Z","timestamp":1706706437000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Two promising natural lipopeptides from Bacillus subtilis effectively induced membrane permeabilization in Candida glabrata"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Madhuri","family":"Madduri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shivaprakash M.","family":"Rudramurthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Utpal","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1016\/j.riam.2014.06.004","article-title":"A flow cytometry method for testing the susceptibility of cryptococcus spp. to amphotericin B","volume":"32","author":"Benaducci","year":"2015","journal-title":"Rev.
