Grapevines contain the same acne germ that lies in human skin.
According to a report, the organisms known as propionibacterium acnes infects the skin, and is most commonly known as a disease throughout the human body Livescience reported.
"It has never been discovered that a human bacterium could be adapted to be the guest of a plant cell," Andrea Campisano one of the authors on the study told Livescience. "This is the first time that it is described, and it finally answers the question of whether it is possible or not."
Scientists were shocked to discover a counterpart of propionibacterium acnes on the bark of the grapevine Viti vinifera in Northeast Italy Livescience reported.
Scientists believe farmers moved the bacteria from the human body to a grapevine 7,000 years ago.
Campisano's fellow scientists want their finding to educate others on how grapevines, and additional plants health can be improved like medicine helps human beings feel better when they are sick.
Scientists also feel the acne germ is in more plant organisms other than the one found, and more kinds made the transition to plants via humans Livescience reported.
The acne's named is derived from Frank Zappa, an italian musician who scientists had an unconventional style Livescience reported. Zappa perished Dec. 4, 1993.
"The fact that it was so unusual made us think of someone as unusual and eclectic as Frank Zappa, who was a surprising person," Campisano told Livescience. "And we wanted to honor him on the 20th anniversary of his death," Campisano told Livescience.
Campisano and her scientist colleagues intend to examine P. Zappae as a whole in order to learn more about the process the germ takes when moving from human beings to plant species.
The advantages of the acne content are also of interest.
