The influence of surfactin and glutamate on tomato root association by plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus subtilis

Rachel Warthen, Avaniek Cabales, Anna Wockenfuss…·Harsh P. Bais

This study investigates how surfactin and glutamate affect the attachment of Bacillus subtilis to tomato roots, showing glutamate promotes colonization while surfactin's role is less significant.
