During the course of our screening program for antibiotics, we have isolated a new antibiotic, named hikizimycin, from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp., strain A-5 which was obtained from a soil sample collected at the Hikizi river-side, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Hikizimycin is active against fungi, especially phytopathogenic fungi. This report describes the characteristics of the producing strain, the fermentation process, the isolation procedure and some of the physical, chemical and biological properties of the antibiotic.
