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.
