“…Natamycin, a polyene macrolide compound biosynthesized by S. chattanoogensis L10, has been reported to exhibit inhibitory effects against a spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. Notably, it impedes the growth of Penicillium digitatum , Rhizopus stolonifer , Alternaria alternata , and Botrytis cinerea , causative agents of fruit decay, black bread mold, leaf spots, and gray mold, respectively 17 . In a similar vein, Lucensomycin, another polyene macrolide compound synthesized by S. plumbeus strain CA5, has demonstrated its promise in inhibiting the growth of Botrytis cinerea , responsible for causing gray mold 21 .…”
