This study investigates how secondary metabolites from Bacillus subtilis affect semi-synthetic bacterial communities in soil, showing reduced abundance of specific genera when NRP-producing strains are present.

This study examines the genomic and chemical diversity of secondary metabolites in Bacillus subtilis strains to understand their biocontrol properties against plant pathogenic fungi.

This study shows surfactin production is not essential for pellicle or root-associated biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis, but reduces colony expansion.

This study shows that biofilm matrix components from Bacillus subtilis are essential for its colonization of fungal hyphae, highlighting their role in bacterial-fungal interactions.

This study isolates and characterizes Bacillus velezensis DTU001, demonstrating its broad antifungal activity against human and plant pathogens, superior to individual lipopeptides.

This study shows that genetic division of labor in Bacillus subtilis enhances biofilm productivity by allowing specialized mutants to exchange matrix components, outperforming phenotypic specialization.
