Lipopeptides belong to the family of cyclic biosurfactants representing a group of surface active compounds produced by various microorganisms. Studied <em>Bacillus </em>spp. strains were able to produce cyclic lipopeptides surfactin, iturin A and fengycin. The characterisation of lipopeptides was studied by various analytical techniques (high-performance liquid chromatography – HPLC and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight analysis for molecular mass determination – MALDI-TOF/MS). These methods confirmed co-production of three lipopeptides – surfactin, iturin A and fengycin by <em>Bacillus amyloliquefaciens</em>.</p> ER -
