Mechanism Analysis of Amphotericin B Controlling Postharvest Gray Mold in Table Grapes

This research shows that amphotericin B, a natural compound produced by bacteria, can effectively prevent gray mold from spoiling table grapes after harvest. The compound works by damaging the mold’s cell membranes and also activates the grapes’ own defense systems. At a treatment level of 200 mg/L, it completely prevented mold growth on grapes over a three-day storage period, offering a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fungicides.

Complete genome analysis and antimicrobial mechanism of Bacillus velezensis GX0002980 reveals its biocontrol potential against mango anthracnose disease

Researchers discovered a beneficial bacterium called Bacillus velezensis that can prevent mango rot caused by a destructive fungus. This bacterium produces natural antimicrobial compounds that kill the disease-causing fungus without the need for harmful chemical pesticides. When applied to mangoes, it reduced disease by 52% and extended the fruits’ shelf life, offering a safe and environmentally friendly solution for protecting mangoes after harvest.
