We want to help solve this problem.&#8221; How? The answer, the researchers explain, may lie in the bacteria. Or, rather, in their ability to produce a particular category of substances: that of antimicrobial peptides.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Peptides are basically small proteins, and some of them can <strong>kill pathogens<\/strong> without detriment to the human body or biodiversity,&#8221; the authors say. The hope, they add, is to discover easily biodegradable <strong>peptides<\/strong> that can target bacteria and fungi and not affect the remaining microbiome of a plant.<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ArpZBnofU6\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/articles\/lobster-soil-potatoes-microbes\/\">US potatoes survive pests thanks to lobster shell<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;US potatoes survive pests thanks to lobster shell&#8221; &#8212; Re Soil Foundation\" src=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/articles\/lobster-soil-potatoes-microbes\/embed\/#?secret=BnPEPHL9aA#?secret=ArpZBnofU6\" data-secret=\"ArpZBnofU6\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h5>The importance of &#8220;selective&#8221; contrast<\/h5>\n<p>These aspects are crucial.
