title: New antibiotic XK-62-2 (sagamicin). II Taxonomy of the producing organism, fermentative production and characterization of sagamicin.
abstract: Cultures of Micromonospora species, strains MK 65 and MK 62, were found to produce a new antibiotic XK-62-2 (Sagamicin). Antibacterial and paperchromatographic data on an eluate from IRC50 treatment of fermentation beers indicated that XK62-2 is a new antibiotic with broad spectrum, basic, and water-soluble properties, probably closely related to the gentamicin C group of antibiotics.
