00:00Bacteria turn water into lethal daggers on the surface of plants.
00:04The bacterium Pseudomonas syringae forces water to freeze at temperatures where it should stay liquid.
00:11It produces a special protein that acts like a structural magnet for incoming water molecules.
00:17These molecules align into sharp, jagged ice crustals that physically pierce the plant's cell walls.
00:25The plant leaks its nutritious insides, letting the bacteria feed on the sudden liquid feast.
00:32This microscopic sabotage ensures that when the frost hits, the bacteria thrive while everything dies.
