Surfactin-like structures of five cyclic depsipeptides from the marine isolate ofBacillus pumilus

Abstract

Five cyclic depsipeptides with molecular masses of 1007, 1021, 1021, 1035, and 1035 were obtained fromBacillus pumilus KMM 150 associated with Australian marine spongeIrcinia sp. Their structures were assigned by mass spectrometric techniques (high-resolution fast atom bombardment and electron impact mass spectrometry), chemical modification, and extensive spectroscopic analysis, including several types of two-dimensional NMR.
