Preliminary studies on a Streptomyces sp. CS-14 showing broad spectrum antibiotic activity.

Abstract

A Streptomyces sp. CS-14 producing antifungal and antibacterial antibiotics has been isolated and characterized. The characterization of mycelial bound antibiotic revealed the presence of a hexaene polyene macrolide whereas filtrate bound antibiotic belonged to aminoglycoside group. Both the antibiotics showed very good antimicrobial activities in vitro.
