Biosurfactant-producing Bacillus spp. suppress Fusarium via fungal membrane disruption and promote cucumber growth.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has led to the exploration of beneficial microorganisms that promote plant growth and enhance resistance to phytopathogens. In this study, we characterized the Kol B9 strain isolated from the rhizosphere of Vinca minor. Morphological, biochemical, and molecular analyses were used to identify the strain as a member of the genus Bacillus, belonging to the Bacillus subtilis group. The strain exhibited strong antagonistic activity against Fusarium culmorum DSM 1094 and Fusarium sambucinum IM 6525, both on solid and in liquid media. This activity coincided with the production of surface-active cyclic lipopeptides and was accompanied by alterations in fungal membrane lipid composition, increased membrane permeability, and inhibition of spore germination and mycelial development. The environmental isolate F. sambucinum IM 6525 was less sensitive to Bacillus activity. In addition, B. subtilis Kol B9 promoted cucumber seedling growth and reduced the adverse effects of Fusarium infection. These findings support the potential application of B. subtilis Kol B9 as a bioinoculant in sustainable agriculture.
