The description and antibiotic production of Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. Geldanus. 1976

C BeBoer, and A Dietz

A new variety of Streptomyces hygroscopicus was isolated from a Kalamazoo soil. This isolate is described and identified as var. geldanus. When fermented in preferential media it produces geldanamycin, nigericin, nocardamine, and a libanamycin-like activity. Fermentation conditions, chromatographic separation, and antimicrobial spectra of the antibiotics are given.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003116 Color The visually perceived property of objects created by absorption or reflection of specific wavelengths of light. Colors
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
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
