The antimicrobial peptide protected citrus fruits from bacterial infection
U.S. biologists have found a protein that can protect citrus trees from an infectious disease called citrus greening. The described compound proved to be more effective than the antibiotic streptomycin and also resistant to heat, which makes it an ideal candidate for the fight against pathogenic bacteria. The work is published in PNAS. Citrus greening,
