Abstract
We studied metabolites synthesized by Bacillus subtilis strains, including the type strain of B. atrophaeus and phenotypically similar cultures. These metabolites were represented by polyene antibiotics with conjugated double bonds. Hexaenes from the strains under study inhibited the growth of phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium culmorum, F. sporotrichiella, F. oxysporum, Botrytis sorokiniana, Alternaria tenui, and Phytophthora infestans. The degree of growth inhibition depended on the test fungus.
