Abstract

A new antibiotic named platenocidin was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces H 273 N-SY2 and the producing microbe was classified as Streptomyces platensis. Platenocidin gives 5-hydroxymethyluracil by acid or alkaline hydrolysis and can be considered to belong to one of the nucleoside antibiotics. The antibiotic inhibits the growth of certain species of yeasts, but not that of bacteria.
