Description
Summary:ACCORDING to Thirumalachar 1 the genus Chainia comprises several species of streptomycetes with discrete simple or compound sclerotial bodies 4 formed from the vegetative mycelium. The morphology and characteristics of several species have been reported 2–4 . Most of them show antimicrobial properties. Aburamycin, which was reported from Streptomyces aburaviensis 5 , was also isolated from Chainia minutisclerotica 3 . We report here a new well characterized antibiotic for the genus Chainia .
