Bacillaene, a novel inhibitor of procaryotic protein synthesis produced by Bacillus subtilis: production, taxonomy, isolation, physico-chemical characterization and biological activity.

Bacillaene, a novel polyene antibiotic, was discovered and isolated from fermentation broths of a strain of Bacillus subtilis. The novel antibiotic has a nominal molecular weight of 580 and an empirical formula of C35H48O7. Bacillaene is active against a broad spectrum of bacteria in agar-plate diff... View More
