Rubeomycin, a new anthracycline antibiotic complex. I. Taxonomy of producing organism, isolation, characterization and biological activities of rubeomycin A, A1, B and B1. 1981

Y Ogawa, and H Sugi, and N Fujikawa, and H Mori

A new antibiotic complex has been obtained from the cultures of an actinomycete, strain FA-1180, isolated from a soil sample collected at lake side of Biwa in Japan. On the basis of taxonomic studies the producing microorganism is designated as Actinomadura roseoviolacea var. biwakoensis nov. var. The antibiotic complex belongs to the class of anthracycline glycoside antibiotics. All components form deep red fine needles on crystallization; components are named rubeomycin A, A1, B and B1. These components exhibit activity against Gram-positive bacteria as well as Yoshida sarcoma cell in vitro. These components are also effective on P388 leukemia.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
