Plant disease caused by pathogenic fungi is one of the most devastating diseases, which affects food safety whole world to a great extent. Biological control plant diseases microbial natural products more desirable than traditional chemical control. In this study, we discovered novel lipopeptide, iturin W, with promising prospects in biological diseases. Moreover, effects different carbon and nitrogen sources amino acids on production C 14 W 15 would provide reasonable basis for optimization fermentation process lipopeptides. Notably, structure was from that any previously reported suggesting deep-sea microorganisms might produce many have significant potential development future.
