Abstract

A newly described species of Streptomyces (named Sm. kagawaensis ATCC No. 21811) isolated from soil was found to produce a new antifungal antibiotic, prumycin, which belongs to amino sugar group. Prumycin was isolated from the fermentation broth by ion-exchange adsorption and gel-filtration methods. This antibiotic inhibited specifically the growth of Sclerotinia sp. and Botrytis sp. on flower pot test with kidney bean leaves and also was effective on the field test with various plants.
