The lividomycins are new aminoglycosidic antibiotics containing 2-amino-2, 3-dideoxy-D-glucose and are produced by Streptomyces lividus nov. sp., strain No. 2230-N1. Lividomycins A and B have been isolated, purified and characterized. The lividomycins-producing strain also produces mannosyl paromomycin and paromomycin I. The morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics of strain No. 2230-N1 were studied and as a result of comparison with knownspecies, the organism was considered a newspecies.
