An actinomycete strain designated LL-31F508 was isolated from an intertidal sediment sample collected in Key West, Florida. Culture LL-31F508 was assigned to the Streptomyces genus based on the presence of LL-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) in the cell wall and observations of spiny spores using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Excellent antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus and Enterococcus spp. were detected in both the supernatant and cell extract samples from fermentations of culture LL-31F508. Production of antibiotic activity peaked at 48-50 hours and closely paralleled cell growth, during which time glucose was more rapidly assimilated than dextrin. A series of new antibiotics called the bioxalomycins was identified as the antibacterial products from fermentations of this culture. Fermentation conditions for production of bioxalomycin alpha differed substantially from those required for production of a related compound, naphthyridinomycin, by the reference culture Streptomyces lusitanus NRRL 8034.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D010080 Oxazoles Five-membered heterocyclic ring structures containing an oxygen in the 1-position and a nitrogen in the 3-position, in distinction from ISOXAZOLES where they are at the 1,2 positions. Oxazole,1,3-Oxazolium-5-Oxides,Munchnones,1,3 Oxazolium 5 Oxides
D005285 Fermentation Anaerobic degradation of GLUCOSE or other organic nutrients to gain energy in the form of ATP. End products vary depending on organisms, substrates, and enzymatic pathways. Common fermentation products include ETHANOL and LACTIC ACID. Fermentations
D006094 Gram-Positive Bacteria Bacteria which retain the crystal violet stain when treated by Gram's method. Gram Positive Bacteria

D013302 Streptomyces A genus of bacteria that form a nonfragmented aerial mycelium. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. This genus is responsible for producing a majority of the ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS of practical value.
