Bacterial Protein Fibers Create Molecular Net to Boost Biopesticides
Researchers have identified a previously unknown process that strengthens the performance of a widely used biological pesticide. The work, carried out at VIB and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, shows how certain bacteria assemble ultra-strong protein fibers into a net-like structure. These fibers capture infectious spores and toxins, turning them into a more adhesive film that improves ...
