Abstract

Isolation of a series of antibiotics produced by a new variety of Streptomyces viridochromogenes was attempted, and three main components were obtained as amorphous powders. They were primarily active against Grampositive bacteria, anaerobic bacteria and mycoplasma and characterized as new members of sulfur-containing peptidic antibiotics. The antibiotic complex was named sulfomycin.
