Abstract

Fungi and mycotoxin contamination is one of the major concerns in agriculture as well as the food system, therefore, searching for environmentally friendly and efficient biogenic fungicides has become the path to ensure food safety. Bacillomycin is a new type of cyclic lipopeptide biogenic fungicide secreted by Bacillus sp. It not only has a strong antifungal function but also has the characteristics of green safety, high stability, and drug resistance. This chapter describes the structural types, biosynthesis and regulation, and culture optimization of bacillomycin in detail and introduces its applications in the protection of plant diseases and green preservation of fruits, vegetables, aquatic products, and cereal products.
