title: Biotransformation of antitumor agents by a strain of Whetzelinia sclerotiorum.
abstract: Antitumor antibiotics of the olivomycin and chromomycin class were transformed when incubated with a culture of Whetzelinia sclerotiorum. The products, when purified by counter-current distribution and column chromatography, were shown, by their physical properties, to be the deacylated analogues.
