Proteomic analysis reveals how phosphite contributes to the fight against chemically resistant dieback

Having previously confirmed dieback is resistant to chemical control on crops such as avocados, stone fruits and pines, Curtin University researchers have gained new insights into how phosphite works against the fungus-like disease, in a potential breakthrough for growers.

Ancient Power Unlocked: Scientists Discover 2.5 Billion-Year-Old Bacterial Energy Source

Biologists from Konstanz have unveiled a unique and ancient phosphorus-based bacterial metabolism. Central to this discovery are four elements: an analytical calculation dating back to the 1980s, a modern sewage treatment facility, the identification of a novel bacterial species, and a remnant from

The mystery of phosphite: A scientific detective story leads to discovery of new type of bacterial metabolism

Konstanz biologists have discovered a phosphorus-based bacterial metabolism that is both new and ancient. The story of its discovery features a calculation from the 1980s, a sewage plant, a new bacterial organism, and a remnant from around 2.5 billion years ago.
