Comment: Polypeptin is an antimicrobial peptide, originally isolated from the culture broth of Bacillus krzemieniewski (a variant of B. circulans) [2]. When first described the compound was named circulin, but this was changed to polypeptin because of a conflict with another natural product from B. circulans [1].
