چکیده

During investigations into the production of 13-lactamase inhibitory activity by microorganisms we studied the culture Streptomyces gedanensis ATCC 4880. This culture has been reported by HATA et al.' to produce (3-lactamase inhibitory activity, the active component designated KA107 was shown to be a high molecular weight substance, probably a protein. Our studies have shown that S. gedanensis produces, in addition to KA 107, a series of low molecular weight inhibitors which are all members of the previously described2'3) family of antibiotics, with (3-lactamase inhibitory activity, the olivanic acids (Fig. 1). In our preliminary studies S. gedanensis was grown in a range of fermentation media. The 3-lactamase inhibitory activity of the resulting culture filtrate samples was determined by an automated method3) using a cell free RTEM enzyme preparation with penicillin G as substrate. Samples were also assayed using the previously described4) agar plate method for

Four further antibiotics related to olivanic acid produced by Streptomyces olivaceus: fermentation, isolation, characterisation and biosynthetic studies.

Four beta-lactam antibiotics with beta-lactamase inhibitory activity MM 22380, MM 22381, MM 22382 and MM 22383 containing the carbapenem nucleus have been isolated from a culture of Streptomyces olivaceus ATCC 31365. Fermentation conditions for their production and methods for their isolation are described. Evidence for a biosynthetic link between these compounds and the previously described ol...

A new olivanic acid derivative produced by Streptomyces olivaceus: isolation and structural studies.

During recent years, members of a novel class of ~-lactam antibiotics containing a carbapenem nucleus have been reported1,2,3). Studies with a culture of Streptomyces olivaceus CBS 349.80 capable of producing members of the olivanic acid series of carbapenem antibiotics, have demonstrated the presence of a new, but related antibiotic as a minor component which has been designated MM 27696. Cult...

Streptomyces olivaceus ATCC 31365 produces a family of novel 1S-lactam antibiotics collectively referred to as the olivanic acids. Seven such compounds, MM 4550, MM 13902, MM 17880, MM 22380, MM 22381, MM 22382 and MM 22383 have been identified which have the same carbapenem nucleus but with different side chains attached to the nucleus. The compounds with an (8S) hydroxyethyl substituent and c...

Construction of Recombinant Vectors Containing Clavulanic Acid Antibiotic Regulatory Gene, claR, Isolated of Streptomyces clavuligerus Strains

The claR of Streptomyces clavuligerus in the clavulanic acid gene cluster encodes a transcriptional regulator that controls clavulanic acid biosynthesis. The main goal of this study was isolation and molecular detection of the claR gene and its cloning in the Streptomyces specific vector (pMA:: hyg). By cinsideration of the claR gene’s start codon, the specific primers were designed. After geno...

Carpetimycins A and B, two new i3-lactam antibiotics related to thienamycin'), epithienamycins2), olivanic acids'-5) and PS-50, were found in the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. KC-6643. These antibiotics have strong activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including (3-lactamase producing strains. Although the carbapenem antibiotics have been reported to be unstable subst...
