Abstract: New glycopeptide antibiotic CUC/CSV which has the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is L-ristosaminyl;R.sub.1 is the disaccharide mannosyl-glucosyl; andR.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are mannosyl, and its salts, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are useful new antibiotics are active against gram-positive bacteria and increase feed-efficiency utilization and enhance milk production in ruminants.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein a process for the purification of glucagon from a glucagon salt cake containing pancreas gland-sourced glucagon, which comprises(1) dissolving said glucagon salt cake in an aqueous medium containing a water-miscible organic solvent;(2) contacting the glucagon salt cake solution with a hydrophobic adsorption support at a pH less than about 4 or greater than about 7.5 and at conditions under which the glucagon is adsorbed on said hydrophobic adsorption support;(3) eluting glucagon from said hydrophobic adsorption support with an aqueous solution containing a water-miscible organic solvent to obtain a first glucagon-containing solution;(4) contacting a solution containing glucagon eluted from said hydrophobic adsorption support, said solution having a pH of from about 7.5 to about 10.

Abstract: New glycopeptide antibiotics of the formula: ##STR1## wherein W is the remaining portion of a glycopeptide antibiotic selected from actaplanin factors B.sub.1, B.sub.2, B.sub.3, C.sub.1, C.sub.2, C.sub.3, D.sub.1, D.sub.2, E.sub.1, G, K, L, M, N, O and actaplanin .psi.aglycone, and salts thereof, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are useful new antibiotics are active against gram-positive bacteria and increase feed-efficiency utilization and enhance milk production in ruminants.

Abstract: New A52688 factors A, C, D, E, F, G, H, J and K which have the common general formula: ##STR1## are antibacterial and antineoplastic agents. Methods of preparing the antibiotics by culturing a strain of Mycoleptodiscus terrestris are provided.
