Hidden Peptides May Revolutionize Antibiotic Discovery

In the summer of 1928, Alexander Fleming, an English biologist, accidentally discovered that the mold Penicillium notatum inhibits bacterial growth.

They dig up soil and collect water, trying to purify active compounds from these highly complex samples. This process takes many years—often longer than the average PhD program—and costs billions of dollars, but it still heavily relies on trial and error.
