Abstract

A new antibiotic rinamycin was isolated from the culture mycelium of a streptomycete designated as Streptomyces venezuelae TU 1102. The antibiotic was obtained as a honey-coloured powder having the tentative molecular formula C20H55N08. It exhibits a significant inhibition of fungi, yeasts, gram-negative bacteria. The primary site of action of the antibiotic was suggested to be the RNA metabolism of rinamycin-sensitive cells.
