Process for preparing an antibiotic complex by culturing actinomyces strain ATCC 39417

摘要

A novel antibiotic complex designated BBM-2478 is produced by fermentation of an actinomycete strain J907-21 (ATCC 39417). The complex may be separated chromatographically into two bioactive components designated BBM-2478A and BBM-2478B. The BBM-2478A component displays both antibacterial and antitumor activity while the BBM-2478B component has antibacterial activity.
