Some lipodepsipeptides produced by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae showed strong antimycobacterial activity towards Mycobacterium smegmatis. MIC values found were between 1.5-3.2 mug/ml, which is comparable to some primary drugs for tuberculosis. Among the lipodepsipeptides, Syringomycin E (SRE) appears to be the most potent antimycobacterial agent.
