抄録

For the purpose of searching for antitumor antibiotic, we isolated Actinomycetes from the soil of Japan, and, as the result of screening the broth filtrates of Actinomycetes inhibiting Ehrlich ascites tumor, we discovered a new antibiotic, primocarcin. This paper feals with taxonimic studies of the primocarcin-producing organism, Nocardia sp. II-41 which is named Nocardia fukayae.
