It is used at the highest level to define two of the 12 soil orders: Aridisols, the soils of the dr...

متن کاملIsolation of borrelidin from Streptomyces californicus—An Indian soil isolate
In a screening programme for search of antibiotics active against clinical resistant strains of infectious bacteria, a potent antibiotic producer from soil capable of acting on vancomycin and methicillin resistant strains was isolated. The taxonomic and biochemical studies revealed that the culture was a strain of Streptomyces californicus. The fermentation schedule was determined in starch cas...
