Synthetic surfactants are becoming increasingly unpopular in many applications due to
previously disregarded effects on biological systems and this has led to a new focus on …

In most environments, bacteria reside primarily in biofilms, which are social consortia of cells
that are embedded in an extracellular matrix and undergo developmental programmes …

The genus Pseudomonas hosts an extensive genetic diversity and is one of the largest
genera among Gram-negative bacteria. Type strains of Pseudomonas are well known to …

Many bacteria utilize contact-dependent killing machineries to eliminate rivals in their
environmental niches. Here we show that the plant root colonizer Pseudomonas putida …

Lipopeptides constitute a structurally diverse group of metabolites produced by various
bacterial and fungal genera. In the past decades, research on lipopeptides has been fueled …

The drive for industrial sustainability has pushed biosurfactants to the top of the agenda of
many companies. Biosurfactants offer the possibility of replacing chemical surfactants …

Lipopeptides are microbial surface active compounds produced by a wide variety of
bacteria, fungi, and yeast. They are characterized by high structural diversity and have the …

Biofilms are matrix‐enclosed microbial aggregates that adhere to a biological or
nonbiological surface. Biofilm formation is a significant problem in the medical, food, and …

The biosynthesis of natural products by heterologous expression of biosynthetic pathways in
amenable production strains enables biotechnological access to a variety of valuable …

In most environments, microorganisms evolve in a sessile mode of growth, designated as
biofilm, which is characterized by cells embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix …
