Antibiotics of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is &agr;-3,4-di- O- methylrhamnosyl, are produced by the cultivation of Streptomyces capreolus NRRL 11429 under submerged aerobic fermentation conditions. A crude antibiotic mixture is obtained from the fermentation medium by extraction. The compounds of Formula II, III, and IV are separated from coproduced Antibiotic A201A (See U.S. Pat. No. 3,843,784) and from each other by repetitive chromatography on silica gel.
