Microbial Natural Products
This group is located at the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS)
Even today efficient drugs against many diseases are missing but finding new active substances is very complex. Support comes out of the ground. Myxobacteria are soil-living microorganisms that produce many active agents. Here you learn more about the search for new compounds with biological activity.
