Overview of methods and considerations for the photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms for agricultural applications

Md Tariqul Islam,
Madeline Sain,
Colin Stark
et al.

Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance in agriculture is a global concern and carries huge financial consequences. Despite that, practical solutions for growers that are sustainable, low cost and environmentally friendly have been sparse. This has created opportunities for the agrochemical industry to develop pesticides with novel modes of action. Recently the use of photodynamic inactivation (PDI), classically used in cancer treatments, has been explored in agriculture as an alternative to traditional chemistries, mainly a… Show more

“…Antimicrobial photodynamic treatment (aPDT) has garnered significant attention from the scientific community due to its achievements in both clinical and environmental settings. , The aPDT approach relies on the activation of a nontoxic agent, referred to as photosensitizer (PS), using harmless visible light in the presence of dioxygen ( 3 O 2 ), thereby generating highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). These ROS can effectively oxidize various cellular components, swiftly rendering the cells inactive. ,, aPDT offers several advantages compared to traditional antimicrobials.…”
