Studies on the antifungal antibiotics: bacillomycin D and bacillomycin D methylester.

Bacillomycin D, an antifungal compound of Bacillus subtilis, was produced during the stationary phase of growth when all the glucose of the medium was exhausted and the pH reached about 8. In addition to bacillomycin D, bacillomycin D methylester was characterized by its antifungal properties and its haemolytic activity.
