Abstract

Two novel antibiotics, catacandin A and catacandin B, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the bacterium, Lysobacter gummosus, by extraction and adsorption, reverse-phase and gel filtration chromatography. On the basis of their physico-chemical properties, they are acyltetramic acids that are easily distinguishable from others in this class. Catacandin A and catacandin B possess good anticandidal activity.
