PROTICIN, A NEW PHOSPHORUS-CONTAINING ANTIBIOTIC. I: TAXONOMY, FERMENTATION, ISOLATION, AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Proticin is a phosphorus-containing, strongly unsaturated amorphous compound with broad activity spectrum, especially against Gram-negative pathogens. It. is produced by fermentation of a strain which has been identified as a form of Bacillus licheniformis. The name proticin has been chosen to sugge...

Description
Summary:Proticin is a phosphorus-containing, strongly unsaturated amorphous compound with broad activity spectrum, especially against Gram-negative pathogens. It. is produced by fermentation of a strain which has been identified as a form of Bacillus licheniformis. The name proticin has been chosen to suggest a particular activity against Proteus bacteria.
