Abstract

Two new antibiotics, pentenomycins I and II have been isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces eurythermus MCRL 0738 as a white hygroscopic amorphous powder. Pentenomycins [I: C₆H₈O₄•1/2H₂O (I), II: C₈H₁₀O₅•1/2H₂O (II)] are moderately active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
