👉 Longiseptatispora is a type of bacteria that can cause disease in plants, particularly in leguminous plants like beans and peas. It is characterized by its ability to grow on surfaces as thick as 50-80 millimeters (2 inches) thick, which makes it difficult for other bacteria or fungi to penetrate the plant's surface. This characteristic has led to the development of fungicides that target this type of bacteria, making them an important tool in crop protection efforts.
