Description
Wang and co-authors screen soil bacteria for a guard against maize anthracnose in a 2025 study. The fungal disease hits corn worldwide. From over a hundred isolates taken in the Tianshan Mountains, one strain, Bacillus atrophaeus F4, stopped the fungus best, near eighty percent control in broth tests. Its full genome was read to find the weapons.
Fatty extracts from the strain broke the fungus's wall and skin and blocked its spore sprouting. Three known antifungal compounds were found in the extract. The strain also swims, builds films, and fights many other plant fungi. The authors present F4 as a strong candidate for field biocontrol.
