Determination of the Major Factors of Fermentation of the Nebramycin Complex by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract
For the determination of the major factors (tobramycin, kanamycin B, apramycin) from the fermentation broth, a new method was developed with combination of some earlier published method. In this method, the protein content of the mixture was removed by treatment with tris-(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane followed by centrifuging then the antibiotic content was derivatized by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitro-benzene. The mixture was analyzed on a reversed phase column.
