Abstract
Many leaf-colonizing bacteria produce surfactants and are able to degrade aliphatic compounds; however, whether surfactant production provides a competitive advantage during leaf colonization is unclear. Furthermore, it is unclear if leaf colonizers take advantage of the aliphatic compounds that constitute the leaf cuticle and cuticular waxes.
