Proteinaceous bioactive compounds from Proteus mirabilis MN12 and DF14N suppress bacterial phytopathogens and prime plant defenses
Bacterial phytopathogens cause devastating yield losses in staple crops, yet sustainable alternatives to copper and streptomycin remain scarce. Proteus mirabilis , an environmental member of the Morganellaceae, is known for producing proticines, SOS-inducible, phage-tail-like bacteriocins, but its systematic eval...
