Key Findings
- Researchers at the University of Münster developed a new method to analyze complex lipids in plant-pathogenic bacteria
- The method successfully identified detailed lipid profiles for six plant-pathogenic bacteria, aiding in their classification
- Understanding these lipid profiles can help develop targeted treatments to combat harmful bacteria without affecting beneficial ones
