[Role of antibiotics in the ecology of actinomycetes].
The organisms producing ristomycin, rifamycin, lincomycin, tobramycin, rubomycin carminomycin, olivomycin, bleomycin and actinomycin D were practically not sensitive to their own antibiotics in the concentrations close to those produced during the biosynthetic process. At the same time other actinomycetous species close to the above organisms were suppressed to a significant extent by their antibiotics in the same concentrations. The experimental data indicated that the antibiotics had a protective effect on the organisms producing them and played a significant role in ecology of the actinomycetes.
