• Bacillus subtilis: A plant-growth promoting rhizobacterium that also impacts biotic stress (2019, background): “Bacillus strain 6051 exhibits strong, very stable biofilm formation and also produces surfactin, indicating that it would a good biocontrol agent against pathogenic bacteria (Bais et al., 2004).”
• The iturin and fengycin families of lipopeptides are key factors in antagonism of Bacillus subtilis toward Podosphaera fusca. (2007, background): “Furthermore, surfactin seems to be also a key factor in the establishment of stable biofilms, and may inhibit the biofilm formation of other bacteria, thus contributing to the protective action, as shown in Arabidopsis against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Bais et al. 2004).”
• Use of Plant-Associated Bacillus Strains as Biofertilizers and Biocontrol Agents in Agriculture (2011, background): “strainB.subtilis6051adheres to rootsurfaces ofArabidopsis, where it forms biofilms and produces surfactin ( Bais et al. 2004 ).”
• The role of root exudates in rhizosphere interactions with plants and other organisms. (2006, background): “syringae on Arabidopsis root surfaces (7).”
• Natural functions of lipopeptides from Bacillus and Pseudomonas: more than surfactants and antibiotics.

• Structure, variation, and assembly of the root-associated microbiomes of rice (2015, background): “This selection may occur by the plant, or may occur through the ability to form biofilms, as certain microbes are known to form biofilms along root surfaces (40, 41).”
• Root-Secreted Malic Acid Recruits Beneficial Soil Bacteria1[C][W][OA] (2008, background): “Bacteria also form sessile communities called biofilms that are morphologically and physiologically differentiated from free-living bacteria (Bais et al., 2004; Rudrappa et al., 2007).”
