Surfactin stimulated by pectin molecular patterns and root exudates acts as a key driver of Bacillus-plant mutualistic interaction

G. Hoff, A. Arguelles Arias, F. Boubsi, J. Prsic, T. Meyer, H. M. M. Ibrahim, S. Steels, P. Luzuriaga, A. Legras, L. Franzil, M. Lequart, C. Rayon, V. Osorio, E. de Pauw, Y. Lara, , M. Ongena

This paper shows that Bacillus velezensis produces surfactin in response to pectin and root exudates, which enhances biofilm formation, motility, and plant immunity.
