| Abstract | Many naturally occurring microorganisms can produce soap-like substances, called biosurfactants, that alter how fluids and other substances in the liquids move through porous spaces such as soils and biological tissues. However, scientists still do not know how far and how fast these biosurfactants spread or how they redirect substances ranging from nutrients and pollutants to disease-causing bacteria. Yet, these microbial agents play important roles in the health of soils, plant roots, and even |
