Some iturin A-producing strains of Bacillus subtilis will elaborate the novel fluorinated analogue when incubated with 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine. The activity of iturin A is dependent on the D-tyrosine residue and the presence of fluorotyrosine may result in an improvement of the biological properties of this lipopeptide. The fluorinated iturin might also be used as a probe for studying its interaction with biological membranes.
