  • Title: Congeners of etamycin produced by Streptomyces griseoviridus.
    Author: Chopra C, Hook DJ, Vining LC, Das BC, Shimizu S, Taylor A, Wright JL.
    Journal: J Antibiot (Tokyo); 1979 Apr; 32(4):392-401. PubMed ID: 468725.
    Abstract:
    Streptomyces griseoviridus produces in addition to etamycin several related compounds which can be separated by partition chromatography. One of these has been characterized by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry and shown to have the same structure as etamycin except for replacement of the hydroxyproline residue by proline. Evidence was obtained for additional congeners similarly related to etamycin by amino acid exchange. The relative proportions of such congeners produced by S. griseoviridus depends upon the medium in which the culture is grown. Certain amino acids support good yields of the metabolites and the culture appears to be steered towards the synthesis of congeners containing such amino acids.
