چکیده
Asukamycin, a new antibiotic, has been isolated from the culture broth of a streptomycete designated as Streptomyces nodosus subsp. asukaensis. The antibiotic inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria including Nocardia asteroides. The empirical formula of antibiotic asukamycin has been proposed as C29H22N2O9 (M.W. 542). An acute toxicity of the antibiotic in mice is LD50 48.5 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection and it has no effect on mice when it was administered by 450 mg/kg per os.

U-56,407, a new antibiotic related to asukamycin: isolation and characterization.
U-56,407, a bright yellow, crystalline antibiotic was isolated from fermentations of Streptomyces hagronensis (strain 360). This antibiotic was extracted from fermentation broths with halogenated hydrocarbons and purified by silica gel chromatography and crystallization. U-56,407 is active in vitro against Gram-positive bacteria but not Gram-negative organisms. It failed to demonstrate in vivo ...
متن کاملBiochemical and genetic insights into asukamycin biosynthesis.
Asukamycin, a member of the manumycin family metabolites, is an antimicrobial and potential antitumor agent isolated from Streptomyces nodosus subsp. asukaensis. The entire asukamycin biosynthetic gene cluster was cloned, assembled, and expressed heterologously in Streptomyces lividans. Bioinformatic analysis and mutagenesis studies elucidated the biosynthetic pathway at the genetic and biochem...
متن کاملCV-1, a new antibiotic produced by a strain of Streptomyces sp. I. Fermentation, isolation and biological properties of the antibiotic.
A new antibiotic, CV-1, was isolated from the culture broth of a Streptomyces sp. by various chromatographies. CV-1 showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli in cooperation with spiramycin, a macrolide antibiotic. The mode of action of CV-1 seemed to be the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide synthesis.
متن کاملAntibiotic 5879 produced by Streptomyces aizunensis, identical with bicyclomycin.
In the previous paper1}, we presented a preliminary report on a new water-soluble antibiotic 5879 produced by Streptomyces No. 5879. Differences in the taxonomic properties of the strain from those of recognized species were considered to be significant enough to propose the new species Streptomyces aizunensis nov. sp. for this strain, and antibiotic 5879 was named aizumycin. This report deals ...
متن کاملStudies on a new antibiotic, exfoliatin, produced by a strain of Streptomyces.
Numerous antibiotics have been obtained from the broth culture of streptomyces, however, none of the antibiotics consisting of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine and oxygen has yet been found. A strain recently isolated from the soil produces an antibiotic which inhibits the growth of Gram positive bacteria. This antibiotic is a new one, because it consists of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine and oxygen. The...
