Unraveling 2-alkenylquinolin-1-ium derivatives as bacterial division inhibitors: bactericidal effect against food and fruits bacteria for ensuring food safety.
BACKGROUND Phytopathogenic bacteria threaten global food security by reducing crop yields, degrading quality, and causing mycotoxin contamination. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly effective bactericides with novel mechanisms of action. FtsZ (filamentous temperature-sensitive protein Z) a key protein...
