Streptomyces-induced glycerol-3-phosphate enriches beneficial microbiota to enhance resistance against banana Fusarium wilt (microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com)

• Streptomyces-derived glycerol-3-phosphate attracts beneficial microbes.
• Enhanced microbial community suppresses Fusarium wilt in bananas.
• Study supports development of biological control agents.

"Research published in Microbiome demonstrates that Streptomyces bacteria produce glycerol-3-phosphate, which enriches beneficial microbiota in banana roots, thereby enhancing resistance to Fusarium wilt. This finding offers a potential biological control strategy for a devastating crop disease."
