Scientists isolated four types of fungi living inside the leaves of medicinal plants from the Amazon region of Bolivia. These fungi produce natural compounds that kill harmful bacteria and fungi that damage potato crops. The findings show promise for developing natural alternatives to synthetic pesticides and antibiotics for agricultural and medical applications.
