The hexaene macrolide candihexin produced by the mutant 18A2 of Streptomyces viridoflavus IMRU 3685 has been found to be a complex of two component fractions which we have named candihexins I and II. Extraction and purification methods have been developed for preparation of pure candihexin complex. Separation of the component fractions has been achieved by solvent fractionation and partition co...

A series of Pyrano[2,3-d]Pyrimidine derivatives were synthesis using Knoevenagel and Michael addition reaction. Investigation of antimicrobial properties were done against gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus(NCTC-7447),Bacillus cereus(ATCC-14579) and gram negative bacteria Serratia maresens(IMRU-70), Proteus merabitis (NTCC-289) using Ampicillin as standard drugs. These synthesized compounds ...

Trejo, W. H. (Squibb Institute for Medical Research, New Brunswick, N.J.) and R. E. Bennett. Streptomyces species comprising the blue-spore series. J. Bacteriol. 85:676-690. 1963.-The objective of this study was to define and delimit the streptomycetes of the blue-spored (Viridochromogenes) series. The series, as defined in this study, includes 11 blue and blue-green species. The green-spored s...

Acute experimental pyelonephritis has been produced by a combination of mechanical ureteral obstruction and intravenous injection of E. coli (strain IMRU-54). The effects of administration of cobra venom factor, an inhibitor of the complement system, on the sequence of morphologic events in the kidneys have been studied by light and electron microscopy.Pronounced bacterial colonization and supp...

Nocardiopsis dassonvillei (Brocq-Rousseau 1904) Meyer 1976 is the type species of the genus Nocardiopsis, which in turn is the type genus of the family Nocardiopsaceae. This species is of interest because of its ecological versatility. Members of N. dassonvillei have been isolated from a large variety of natural habitats such as soil and marine sediments, from different plant and animal materia...

The organism Streptomyces chartreusis IMRU 3962 produced a mixture of the antibiotics hydroheptin and chartreusin in fermentation broth. The addition of increasing levels of phosphate resulted in a corresponding increase in the production of both antibiotics, with maximum yields of 400 to 450 micrograms of chartreusin per ml and 80 to 100 micrograms of hydroheptin per ml at 0.45 to 0.55 M phosp...

Amphotericin B-3H with a specific radioactivity in excess of 4 muCi/mg was produced by fermentation of Streptomyces nodosus IMRU 3694 in a complex medium, using acetate-3H as a precursor. The medium employed gave a production yield of 2.5 approximately 3.5 mg/ml of amphotericin B. The most efficient incorporation of acetate-3H occurred when the precursor was added at 24 hours after inoculation....
