Biosurfactants | International Conference The Biosurfactants 2025 conference in Aachen, Germany, aims to be the venue for exchange between the many stakeholders involved in making biosurfactants a reality. The ever-increasing surfactant market is a major outlet of the chemical industry. The global surfactants market size was estimated at USD 39 billion in 2020. Like many areas of this industry, the surfactant sector is also highly under pressure by market developments like ecotoxicology, sustainability, functionality, and price. Biosurfactants produced by microbes from renewable resources (biomass, CO2+green H2, residues) can contribute and are already contributing to overcome the many challenges. While only a few biosurfactants are commercially available, we see many efforts in increasing production capacities, applications, and basic research into the many unknowns of biosurfactants. At Biosurfactants 2025, experts from academia and industry will discuss the newest developments and share the latest insights while informing newcomers about this exciting field of microbial biotechnology.

Have you ever heard of the term “dark taxa”?

Published in @currentbiology.bsky.social‬, a new study reveals an astonishing 83% of ectomycorrhizal #fungi are classified as dark taxa, existing only through their DNA sequences and eluding formal classification. 🧵

The problem of “dark taxa” in ectomycorrhizal fungal conservation and research — Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative Laura van Galen, ETH Zürich (Switzerland) & SPUN (Society for the Protection of Underground Networks)

📣 GSBI's latest blog has just been published 🎉

In this blog, Dr. Laura Van Galen discusses the mystery of dark taxa in ectomycorrhizal fungi 🍄
