Dorrigocins: Novel antifungal antibiotics that change the morphology of ras-transformed NIH/3T3 cells to that of normal cells. I. Taxonomy of the producing organism, fermentation and biological activity.

Abstract
The dorrigocins are new secondary metabolites produced by submerged fermentation of a streptomycete which was isolated from a soil sample collected in Australia. The dorrigocins show moderate antifungal activity and reverse the morphology of ras-transformed NIH/3T3 cells from a transformed phenotype to a normal one. The producing culture was identified as Streptomyces platensis subsp. rosaceus strain AB1981F-75.
