Bacillus Lipopeptide Screening Data with Field Trial Results for Crop Growth

A dataset from a study developing a tiered screening strategy for lipopeptide-producing Bacillus strains. The data includes quantified lipopeptide yields, antimicrobial inhibition rates, and results from field trials showing crop growth improvements. The dataset was authored by Tian Gan and last updated on 2026-04-28.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict lipopeptide yield based on screening assay results mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing correlations between specific lipopeptide types and antimicrobial activity against pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and Rhizoctonia solani.
• Evaluating the plant growth-promoting effects of lipopeptide extracts on crops like maize, peanut, and sunflower from field trial data.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results, such as surfactin production of 1140.7 mg/L and a 32.46% increase in maize ear fresh weight.
• Data is validated through multiple methods, including MALDI-TOF MS, HPLC, genomic analysis, and field trials.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 19.6 MB size suggests a relatively small dataset.
