Surfactin: a novel Aphis gossypii killing surfactin produced by Bacillus australimaris TRM82479 of Taklamakan Desert origin

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe cotton aphid Aphis gossypii poses a global, serious threat to cotton yield and quality. Although chemical pesticides are effective, pollution and resistance are increasingly prominent, making development of new biopesticides a priority in the context of green agricultural development.MethodsGiven that reports on the activity of ...

Impact of soil texture on biosurfactant‐mediated soil wetting and water retention

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Increasing global food demand combined with more frequent and intense periods of drought necessitates new strategies to improve agricultural water use efficiency. Amending soils with biosurfactants provides a method to increase soil wettability and improve soil water retention, thereby reducing freshwater demand.
