Description

Strain No. 35NT of Streptomyces isolated from soil produces a new antibiotic which shown antibiotic activity against Staphyloococcus aureus which is resistant to commercial antibiotics.Strain No. 35NT has morphological and cultural characteristics resembling Streptomyces celluloflavus. By using a submerged culture in a suitable medium containing 1% glucose, 0.5% soybean meal, 0.5% peptone, 0.3% CaCO_3,0.5% NaCl, a No. 35NT substance was obtained.For example, 750μg/ml of antibiotic activity was obtained after 45hrs, using a 30 liter fermentor having an agitator speed of 300rpm and aerated at a rate of 1 vvm.The crude antibiotic was extracted from filtrate of broth by adsorption on active carbon followed by acidic methanol elution.Powder of the antibiotic were obtained by precipitating with (NH_4)_2SO_4,eluting with pyridine and reprecipitating with ethyl ether. It is a slightly yellowish powder containing the nitro group and pentose. The molecular formula is C_14H_24N_2O_10,and it decomposes at 238-240℃.It is active against Gram-positive bacteria only, and inhibits growth of resistant Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 0.5μg/ml.
