Studies on SF-1902 A2-A5, minor components of SF-1902 (globomycin).

Abstract
Four members of globomycin, SF-1902 A2, A3, A4a and A4b, were newly isolated from the culture of Streptomyces hygroscopicus SF-1902. These minor components shared 4 amino acids in common and the 5th was valine or allo-isoleucine. The fatty acid moiety varied from 3-hydroxy-2-methylheptanoic acid and A2 to 3-hydroxy-2-methylundecanoic acids in A4b. The length of alkyl chain greatly affected the antibacterial activity and maximum activity was shown by the homolog (A5) possessing the longest alkyl chain.
