A number of bacterial cultures were screened for the ability to inhibit sporulation using a strain Streptomyces 85E. Evaluations of the cultures which tested positive in this assay led to the discovery that lipopeptide biosurfactants such as surfactin and viscosin are effective inhibitors of eukaryotic protein kinase activity. Thus, a method for inhibiting eukaryotic protein kinase activity present in a sample or organism includes the step of adding to the sample or organism an effective inhibitory amount of a lipopeptide biosurfactant. |
