At the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS), researchers are using soil-dwelling myxobacteria as a source of new active ingredients. They are able to discover new active compounds primarily in bacteria that have not yet been extensively studied.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-12T21:10:01+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-12T21:30:13.078322+00:00"}}
