Article Synopsis
- p-Aminobenzoic acid (pABA), produced by Lysobacter antibioticus, is known for its antifungal properties but was previously untested for antibacterial activity.* -
- The study found that pABA effectively inhibited the growth of the soybean pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag), reducing motility, biofilm formation, and causing notable changes in bacterial morphology.* -
- The findings suggest pABA has potential as a treatment for bacterial infections by disrupting outer membrane integrity, highlighting its promise for managing bacterial pathogens in agriculture.*
