Description
Hadeel Osama and co-authors test germ extracts against a crop virus in a 2025 greenhouse study. Cucumber mosaic virus stunts squash and many other crops, and chemical options are limited. The team turned to Streptomyces, soil and sea bacteria famed for making bioactive compounds, and gathered strains from the Red Sea near Hurghada, Egypt.
Two extracts were profiled chemically and tried three ways: as cure, as shield, and as a virus soak before planting. The team tracked disease rates and severity, virus levels by lab test, plant chemistry, and defense gene activity. Squash plants treated with the extracts fought the virus better than untreated ones. The work backs marine Streptomyces as a source of plant antivirals worth refining.
