Antimicrobial activity of sophorolipids produced by <scp><i>Starmerella bombicola</i></scp> against phytopathogens from cherry tomato

Abstract

The results for tomato leaves and fruits revealed that the biosurfactant acts more effectively when used preventively. Sophorolipids are stable molecules that show promising action for the potential replacement of pesticides in the field and the post-harvest process against the main tomato phytopathogens. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
