Claim 0:
1. A method for lipopeptides, the method comprising the steps of:
mixing an aqueous solution of cyclic lipopeptides with activated carbon, said cyclic lipopeptides having a peptide ring closed by a lactone bond, so as to form a suspension;
adsorbing a portion of said cyclic lipopeptides on a surface of said activated carbon so as to form adsorbed cyclic lipopeptides;
hydrolyzing another portion of said cyclic lipopeptides on said surface of said activated carbon so as to break said lactone bond and form linear lipopeptides at a percentage at least or above 83% of total lipopeptides in said suspension;
separating said activated carbon from said suspension,
wherein said activated carbon has a surface area above 600 m2/g, and wherein said aqueous solution is basic and has a pH at or above 9.71; and
harvesting said linear lipopeptides from said suspension.
