Abstract
Enterocin is a new antibiotic isolated from cultures of 2 strains of Streptomyces, which were given the names S. candidus var. enterostaticus WS-8096 and variant M-127 of S. viridochromogenes. Its elementary analysis and mass spectroscopic measurement suggest the molecular formula is C22H20O10. The UV absorption gave 2 maximal peaks at 250 nm and 283 nm in methanol. Enterocin has static activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and no activity against fungi and yeast.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
