iMeta, EarlyView.From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Micellar and Solubilization Properties of Biological Surfactant Surfactin
Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We studied aqueous solutions of surfactin in the concentration range of 0.001–200 g/L using NMR diffusometry, tensometry and optical microscopy methods. According to tensometry data, the system forms monolayers of surfactant molecules at the water‐air phase boundary at C = 0.02 g/L.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The surfactin C secreted by JDB15 and the probable parasitism of JDL4 lead to the leakage of intracellular macromolecules and the degradation of hyphae, respectively. Combined application of the two strains effectively controls banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions.

The tryptophan prenyltransferase ComQ from Bacillus subtilis 168 can prenylate daptomycin at Trp1
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.ComQ168 from Bacillus subtilis 168 catalyzes C‐terminal tryptophan farnesylation of ComX to generate a competence‐inducing pheromone. Recombinant ComQ168 also modifies cyclic peptides, including Daptomycin, likely at the N‐terminal tryptophan. Structural modeling highlights a C‐terminal binding region, supporting substrate promiscuity and establishing ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Characterization of the NRPS operon homolog for surfactin A and surfactin C synthesis in Bacillus spp.Surfactin is a cyclic lipopeptide produced by Bacillus spp., consisting of a β-hydroxy fatty acid and a heptapeptide synthesized by non-ribosomal peptide synthetases. Surfactin congeners (A, B, and C) differ in amino acid substitutions, with Leu7 in surfactin A replaced by Val in B and Ile in C.

ERF transcription factor StPti5 is a regulator of endophyte community maintenance in potato
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1344-1360, August 2026.Summary We have recently identified an ethylene response factor, StPti5, as a susceptibility factor that negatively regulates immune responses to diverse pathogens. Here, we investigated the role of StPti5 in the processes involved in the colonization of potato with beneficial organisms.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.Marine‐derived biosurfactants produced by microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, and yeast) have amphiphilic properties that facilitate membrane interactions and transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). These biosurfactants exhibit neuroprotective activity by targeting mechanisms implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including reducing ...

A natural lipopeptide of surfactin for oral delivery of insulin [PDF]
Drug Delivery, 2016 Surfactin, a natural lipopeptide produced by Bacillus, is gaining attention for potentially biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Here, surfactin was assayed for oral delivery of insulin (INS) by its ability to bind to and promote protein to penetrate through the cell membrane. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,
