Researchers discovered a natural compound called microminutinin from a plant used in traditional medicine. This compound shows strong ability to kill various fungal pathogens that damage crops, particularly tea plants. The compound works by breaking down the protective structures of fungal cells, making it a promising candidate for developing safer, plant-based fungicides for agriculture.

Phytochemical Profile and Antimicrobial Activities of Edible Mushroom Termitomyces striatus

Researchers studied an edible mushroom called Termitomyces striatus traditionally consumed in Africa and Asia to understand its disease-fighting properties. They found that extracts from this mushroom contain beneficial compounds that can kill harmful bacteria and fungi in laboratory tests. The dichloromethane extract was the most effective, showing strong activity against multiple disease-causing bacteria and the yeast Candida albicans. This suggests the mushroom could potentially be developed into new natural antimicrobial treatments.
