Lipopeptides are bioactive compounds produced by Bacillus spp. This work provides insight into de antifungal activity of lipopeptides through a meta-analysis published studies, in addition following PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technique, the presence genes 20 strains were also analyzed. The studies showed that iturin, fengycin and surfactin significantly reduced growth phytopathogenic fungi. Similarly, when applied to plant tissues, severity damage tissues caused As for detection, we used reported have antagonistic against various fungal pathogens. amplification study was carried out detect involved synthesis lipopeptides: ituA iturin A, fenD srfA surfactin. Comparative sequence analysis range 98 100% identity with corresponding several species. We observed at least one gene strains: CBRF5, CBRF15, CBSN67, CBRM9. In strain CBRF6, detected fabD srfAD genes. For development natural fungicides control fungi, could be useful tool.
