Gageotetrins A鈥揅 (1鈥?b>3), a unique class of linear lipopeptides, consisting of di- and tetrapeptides and a new fatty acid were isolated from a Marine Bacillus subtilis. The structures of 1鈥?b>3 were assigned by spectroscopic data and their absolute stereochemistries were ascertained by chemical derivatization. Compounds 1鈥?b>3 displayed good antimicrobial activities with MIC values of 0.01鈥?.06 渭M. However, these compounds failed to register any cytotoxicity (GI50 > 30 渭g/ml) against human cancer cell lines.
