According to numerous in vitro studies it is widely assumed
that its antifungal activity is due to non-ribosomal synthesis of the
cyclic LP bacillomycin D and fengycin (Koumoutsi et al., 2004),
whilst its antibacterial activity is mainly due to non-ribosomally
synthesized polyketides (Chen et al., 2006), and bacilysin (Chen
et al., 2009b), and ribosomally synthesized bacteriocins
