Lead contamination is widely found in soil and waters, which makes great threat to animal and human health. Environmentally friendly, efficient, and economical methods for the removal of Pb²⁺ pose significant challenges for environmental protection. Bacillus subtilis lipopeptide was firstly used to remove Pb²⁺ from water. In mechanisms, the lipopeptides formed complexes and chelated with Pb²⁺ via OH, CO, OCO, and NH. In kinetics, the Pb²⁺ removal process closely followed a pseudo-first-order model, and the equilibrium Pb²⁺ adsorption capacity ranged from 112.6 to 113.7 mg/g within a temperature range of 293.13–313.13 K. The Pb²⁺ removal process could be well described by a Langmuir isotherm. The maximum Pb²⁺ removal capability of lipopeptides was 164.4 mg/g in manually metal contaminated water and 130.4 mg/g in actual wastewater. Furthermore, the lipopeptides can not only decrease the amount of lead in oats grown, but also promote oat growth under Pb²⁺ stress. The results showed that lipopeptides can be used as a highly efficient adsorbent to remove Pb²⁺ from water, which means the great potential of lipopeptides in practical environments.
