RESOLUTION OF PEPTIDE ANTIBIOTICS, CEREXINS AND TRIDECAPTINS, BY HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

STUDIES ON ANTIBIOTICS FROM THE GENUS BACILLUS. XXVI

Abstract

By high performance liquid chromatography, cerexin B was separated into four components (B₁, B₂, B₃ and B₄), cerexin D into four components (D₁, D₂, D₃ and D₄), tridecaptin A into two components (A_α and A_β), tridecaptin B into four components (B_α, B_β, B_γ, and B_δ) and tridecaptin C into three components (C_α1, C_α2 and C_β1). All components were preparatively isolated, and their fatty acid and amino acid compositions determined for structural elucidation.
