Studies on new phosphonic acid antibiotics. II. Taxonomic studies on producing organisms of the phosphonic acid and related compounds
Abstract
A new species of Streptomyces which produces a new cell wall-inhibitory antibiotic, FR-900098 containing phosphonic acid in its molecule, is named and described. The species name proposed, Streptomyces rubellomurinus, refers to the aerial mass color. Streptomyces rubellomurinus subsp. indigoferus also produces FR-900098 and the related compound FR-33289. FR-900098 related compounds, FR-32863 and FR-31564 are produced by Streptomyces lavendulae.
