Two water-soluble basic antibiotics named galantins I and II were isolated from a strain resembling Bacillus pulvifaciens. Both antibiotics are peptides containing glycine, alanine, ornithine, lysine and some unknown ninhydrin-positive components. An approximate empirical formula C50±1H98±2O17N16 indicated for galantin I. These are active against some gram-positive, acid-fast and gram-negative bacteria.
