Herbicidins A and B, two new antibiotics with herbicidal activity. I. Producing organism and biological activities.

Abstract
Herbicidins A and B, 2 new antibiotics with selective and contact herbicidal activity, were produced by a new Streptomyces sp. designated as S. saganonensis. Among tested microorganisms, herbicidins indicated some activity against fungi in vitro and Xanthomonas oryzae in vivo. There characteristic features were brought into relief by their selective and contact killing effect on many dicotyledonous plants and their inhibition of germination of the plant seeds, such as Chinese cabbage.
