Abstract: A novel antibiotic complex exhibiting antifungal activity is produced by fermenting a novel species of bacteria from the genus Aeromonas, the bacterium being herein designated Aeromonas sp. W-10. The antibiotic complex is comprised of at least three and possibly as many as six components and has been designated Antibiotic W-10 Complex. Two members of the complex have been isolated in substantially pure form and are designated Antibiotic 20561 and Antibiotic 20562, the antibiotics exhibiting substantial antifungal activity.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel 5-tritylpicolinic acids, amides, esters and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also disclosed are methods for the use of said novel compounds as anti-acne agents.
Abstract: Everninomicin B, C or D may be converted to amino derivatives by reductive means. The amino derivatives may, subsequently, be converted to novel N-acyl, N-alkyl or N,N-dialkyl derivatives. Alternatively, everninomicins B, C or D may be converted to N-acyl-N-hydroxylamino derivatives also by reductive means. The derivatives so-produced and the non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable cationic salts thereof are novel and are antibacterial agents.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel 1-N-X-aminoglycoside anti-bacterial agents produced from antibiotics elaborated by species of the genus Micromonospora wherein X is a member selected from the group consisting of S-3-amino-2-hydroxypropionyl and S-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyryl and S-5-amino-2-hydroxypentanoyl. Also disclosed are novel intermediates in the production of the foregoing.
Abstract: In the fermentation production of gentamicin C a plurality of additional antibiotic compounds are obtained. Four of these compounds, gentamicin A, gentamicin B, gentamicin B.sub.1 and gentamicin X exhibit significant anti-protozoal and anthelmintic activity while gentamicin B and B.sub.1 have significant antibacterial properties with markedly reduced side effects.

Abstract: The aminocyclitol 2,5-dideoxystreptamine may be prepared by a novel two-step synthesis from cis-4,8-dioxatricyclo [5.1.0.0.sup.3,5 ]octane. The aminocyclitol and a novel intermediate in the synthesis thereof are utilized by a Micromonospora inyoensis (M. inoyensis strain 155OF-1G NRRL 5742) for the elaboration of a novel antibacterial agent designated Mutamicin 2.

Abstract: Micromonospora arborensis produces a plurality of antibiotics named herein antibiotic 68-1147 complex, when cultivated under controlled aerobic conditions. Two of the antibiotics, antibiotic 68-1147 I and antibiotic 68-1147 II are described and shown to be effective antibacterial agents, especially against gram positive bacteria.

Abstract: Glycerol is efficiently converted to dihydroxyacetone by Acetobacter suboxydans at an acid pH under aerobic conditions in a medium consisting of yeast hydrolysate or fish hydrolysate, glycerol and water.
Abstract: Described herein are novel monoesters of rosamicin, also known as Antibiotic 67-694. Also described is a process for the preparation of such esters by the selective solvolysis of diester precursors. The monoesters are broad spectrum antibacterial agents but are generally more effective against gram-positive bacteria.
Abstract: Rosamicin is an antibiotic elaborated by Micromonospora rosaria. The compounds described herein are antibacterial derivatives of rosamicin. Also described are processes for the preparation of these antibacterial derivatives from rosamicin.

Abstract: Amides having aromatic substituents of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is an acyl radical derived from a carboxylic acid having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms, X and Y are members selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, fluoro, trifluoromethyl and hydroxy, and n is an integer selected from the group consisting of 0, 1 and 2, exhibit an effect upon the central nervous system.
Abstract: Micromonospora inyoensis strain 155OF-1G NRRL 5742 is incapable of producing antibiotics unless an aminocyclitol is added to the fermentation medium. When such a compound is added, antibiotics are produced, said antibiotics being analogs of known aminoglycoside antibiotics differing therefrom with respect to the aminocyclitol subunit.
