Abstract
Antibiotic U-66,026 is produced in a fermentation under controlled conditions using the microorganism Alcaligenes sp., NRRL B-15269. Enhanced fermentation of titers U-66,026 are obtained when Alcaligenes sp., NRRL B-15269, is cultivated in mixture with Streptomyces plicatus strain 395, NRRL 15273. Antibiotic U-66,026 is a useful antibiotic which has antifungal activity.
Claims6
A process for preparing antibiotic 2-nitrosohydroxyl-amino-1-propanol (U-66,026) which comprises cultivating a mixture of Alcaligenes sp., having the identifying characteristics of NRRL B-15269, and Streptomyces plicatus strain 395, having the identifying characteristics of NRRL 15273, in an aqueous nutrient medium under aerobic conditions until substantial antibiotic U-66,026 activity is imparted to said medium.
A process for preparing antibiotic 2-nitrosohydroxyl-amino-1-propanol (U-66,026) which comprises cultivating Alcaligenes sp., having the identifying characteristics of NRRL B-15269 in an aqueous nutrient medium under aerobic conditions until substantial antibiotic U-66,026 activity is imparted to said medium.
A biologically pure culture of the microorganism Alcaligenes sp., having the identifying characteristics of NRRL B-15269, said culture being capable of producing the antibiotic 2-nitrosohydroxyl-amino-1-propanol upon fermentation in an aqueous nutrient medium containing assimilable sources of carbon, nitrogen and inorganic substances.
A process for enhancing the fermentation production of antibiotic 2-nitrosohydroxyl-amino-1-propanol by Alcaligenes sp., NRRL B-15269, which comprises fermentating said Alcaligenes s. in the presence of Streptomyces plicatus strain 395, NRRL 15273.
A mixed culture comprising the microorganisms Streptomyces plicatus strain 395, having the identifying characteristics of NRRL 15273, and Alcaligenes sp., NRRL B-15269.
