Three antimicrobial compounds produced by Bacillus sp. strain CS93 isolated from pozol were identified by using high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The three compounds were iturin, bacilysin, and chlorotetaine. Production of these compounds by CS93 could account for the medicinal properties attributed to pozol.

Crown gall disease caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens is considered to be the main bacterial threat of stone fruit plants in Mediterranean countries. In a previous study, Bacillus velezensis strain 32a was isolated from Tunisian rhizosphere soil and revealed high antagonistic potential against A. tumefaciens strains.

A new Bacillus amyloliquefaciens named ZJU-2011 was discovered, and the culture supernatant showed a strong inhibitory effect against Candida albicans. In this study, a novel method was developed to purify the antifungal compounds in high purity. The obtained products were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography and proven to be of high purity.

Background: Phytopathogenic fungi affecting crop and post-harvested vegetables are a major threat to food production and food storage. To face these drawbacks, producers have become increasingly dependent on agrochemicals. However, intensive use of these compounds has led to the emergence of pathogen resistance and severe negative environmental impacts.
