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.

Surfactin Structural Variants Differentially Modulate Plant Immune Responses. [PDF]

Biomolecules
Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs), produced by beneficial rhizobacteria such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas species, are specialized metabolites retaining key functions for the plant protective activity of the producers, which shows their potential as biocontrol agents in agriculture. Beyond their strong antimicrobial properties, CLPs can act as potent elicitors

Characterization of two antimicrobial peptides produced by a halotolerant Bacillus subtilis strain SK.DU.4 isolated from a rhizosphere soil sample [PDF]

, 2013
A bacterial strain producing two antimicrobial peptides was isolated from a rhizosphere soil sample and identified as Bacillus subtilis based on both phenotypic and 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis.

Group V Phospholipase A2 Induces Leukotriene Biosynthesis in Human Neutrophils through the Activation of Group IVA Phospholipase A2 [PDF]

, 2002
We reported previously that exogenously added human group V phospholipase A2 (hVPLA2) could elicit leukotriene B4 (LTB4) biosynthesis in human neutrophils (Han, S. K., Kim, K. P., Koduri, R., Bittova, L., Munoz, N. M., Leff, A. R., Wilton, D. C., Gelb, M.

Investigating Bacillus amyloliquefaciens VFS2 for Vicia faba‐fusarium wilt biocontrol and plant growth promotion under osmotic stress

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7665-7674, December 2025.
The osmoadapted B. amyloliquefaciens VFS2 showed strong antifungal activities against Vicia faba‐pathogenic fungi and produced significant amounts of cLPs isoforms, indole‐3‐acetic acid, and siderophores under osmotic stress. These properties were associated with a Vicia faba Fusarium‐wilt disease biocontrol under saline and water‐deficient conditions.

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 ...
