    Journal: J Antibiot (Tokyo); 1997 Nov; 50(11):926-31. PubMed ID: 9592565.
    Abstract:
    Formamicin, an antifungal antibiotic, was isolated from the cultured broth of an actinomycete strain. The strain was isolated from a soil collected at Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan, and identified as Saccharothrix sp. MK27-91F2. Formamicin was extracted with acetone from cultured mycelia and purified by silicagel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies and CPC (Centrifugal liquid-liquid Partition Chromatography). Formamicin showed strong antimicrobial activity against phytopathogenic fungi.
