چکیده
The constituent fatty acid of cerexin A was elucidated to be beta-hydroxy isoundecanoic acid by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. The asparaginyl asparagine linkage in the amino acid sequence of the antibiotic, which has been previously described, was proved to be a normal alpha-carboxylpeptide bond by dehydration-reduction procedure. The three asparagine residues in the sequence were isolated separately and their chiralities were determined. The structure of cerexin A was concluded from the above results.

متن کاملA selective isolation procedure for Pseudomonas bacteria.
A selective isolation medium was devised for Pseudomonas bacteria. An antibiotic mixture which contained 10 micrograms per ml of cerexin A, 10 micrograms per ml of nalidixic acid and 30 micrograms per ml of cycloheximide was used. With the antibiotic medium, 58 strains of bacteria presumed to be Pseudomonas which were subdivided into 18 taxonomically different groups were isolated from 3 soil s...

Screening of microorganisms for the production of novel antibiotics has been intensivelypursued for many years by scientists. Actinomycetes have the capability to synthesize manydifferent antibiotics. A total of 69 actinomycete isolates were recovered from soil samplescollected from Alborz Province. Selected colonies (rough, chalky) of actinomycetes werepurified. All screened isolates were iden...
