Endophytic Bacillus tequilensis ALR-2 isolated from Aloe vera plant, was found to have antimicrobial activities attributed to a series of lipopeptide antibiotics and biosurfactants produced. Partial-purification of ethylacetate extracts by column chromatography revealed that fraction SF5 (5mg mL-1) effectively inhibited Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus (28.6{+/-}0.5 and 30.3{+/-}0.5 mm zone of inhibition, respectively), and was significantly more effective than the standard antibiotics Ciprofloxacin (5g) (23.6 {+/-}0.5 and 18.6 {+/-}0.5 mm, respectively) and Kanamycin (30g) (20.3 {+/-}0.5 and 13.6 {+/-}0.5 mm, respectively). UPLC-MS analysis of SF5 showed three series of ion peaks. The quadrupole-orthogonal ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer revealed [M+H]+ of 678.4601; 679.4690 and 680.5076 which corresponded to the oligopeptide antibiotic monamycin (mol. wt. 677.84). The [M+H]+ of 1119.8870; 1120.8992 and 1121.9119 corresponded to antibiotic complex 61-26 (mol. wt. 1120.348), a lipopeptide. The third peak of [M+H]+ of 1356.0151 and 1358.0664 could not be classified to existing known compounds in the literatures.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
