Toxicity comparison of biosurfactants and synthetic surfactants used in oil spill remediation to two estuarine species.
TL;DR: Few generalizations could be made concerning the results due to their variability but M. bahia was generally the more sensitive species and the toxicities of the biosurfactants were intermediate to those of the synthetic surfactants.

TL;DR: Data suggest that decrease in VSC of NO3− in roots will enhance transport to shoot and essentially contribute to higher NUE by promotingNO3− allocation to aerial parts, likely through coordinated regulation of NRT1.5 and N RT1.8.
