Rhamnolipids and fengycins interact differently with biomimetic lipid membrane models of Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: Lipidomics profiles and biophysical studies.

Rhamnolipids (RLs) and Fengycins (FGs) are biosurfactants with very promising antifungal properties proposed to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides in crops. They are amphiphilic molecules, both known to target the plasma membrane. They act differently on Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, two close Sclerotiniaceae phytopathogenic fungi.

Rhamnolipids and fengycins, very promising amphiphilic antifungal compounds from bacteria secretomes, act on fungi through different mechanisms.

Rhamnolipids (RLs) and fengycins (FGs) are amphiphilic lipid compounds from bacteria secretomes proposed to replace synthetic pesticides for crop protection. They both display plant defense triggering properties and direct antimicrobial activities. In particular, they have well reported antifungal effects against phytopathogenic fungi.

Rhamnolipids From Are Elicitors Triggering Protection Against Without Physiological Disorders.

Rhamnolipids (RLs) are amphiphilic molecules naturally produced by some bacteria with a large range of biological activities. Although some studies report their potential interest in plant protection, evaluation of their effects and efficiency on annual crops of worldwide agronomic interest is lacking. The main objective of this work was to investigate their elicitor and protective activities on rapeseed crop species while evaluating their physiological effects.
