Glebomycin, A New Member of the Streptomycin Class. II Isolation and Physicochemical Properties

Abstract

A new antimicrobial agent, glebomycin, has been isolated from fermentation beers of Streptomyces strain No. 12096. Various biological properties of the antibiotic and mycological properties of the producing strain have been described by Okanishi et al,¹⁾ and Ohmori et al.²⁾ The antibiotic was found to belong to the streptomycin-group of antibiotics from the biological and chemical studies.

This paper deals with the isolation, purification and physicochemical properties of glebomycin. Paper chromatographic comparisons with related antibiotics of the streptomycin group are also described.
