Abstract
3-Amino-3-deoxy-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-.alpha.-D-glucopyranoside (.alpha.,.alpha.-3-trehalosamine) was isolated from a culture of Nocardiopsis trehalosei sp. nov. (NRRL 12026). Structure was determined using a combination of spectroscopic techniques on derivatives of the component sugars, especially gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The compound exhibited antibiotic activity against gram-positive organisms at levels similar to those for the 2- and 4-trehalosamines.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
