A drug-containing capsule (20, 30, 40) includes a capsule material (21, 31, 41) and a drug (22, 32, 42) disposed within the capsule material (21, 31, 41) and having a sterilization action for a specific microorganism. The capsule material (21, 31, 41) includes a degradable part (21a, 31a, 41a) formed of a raw material that is caused to biodegrade by the specific microorganism. This results in suppression of release of the drug while the specific microorganism does not proliferate.

The present invention aims to provide a disease control agent for a plant selected from the group consisting of Brassicaceae plant; beans; maize; wheat variety; tubers and roots; and sugar beet; the disease being a disease caused by a fungus selected from the group consisting of fungi belonging to the genus Rhizoctonia, fungi belonging to the genus Fusarium, fungi belonging to the genus Pythium, fungi belonging to the genus Microdochium, fungi belonging to the genus Tilletia, fungi belonging to the genus Ustilago, fungi belonging to the genus Streptomyces, fungi belonging to the genus Erwinia, and fungi belonging to the genus Aphanomyces. The disease is controlled by treating seeds, seedlings, or soil of the plant using a filamentous fungus belonging to the genus Talaromyces.

Methods and compositions for making bacteriocins are described in some embodiments herein. In some embodiments, pro-polypeptide comprising the bacteriocins in the desired ratios in cis, and separated by cleavage sited can be produced by a microbial cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding the pro-polypeptide. In some embodiments microfluidic devices and methods for making specified mixtures of antimicrobial peptides and/or bacteriocins are described.
