title: Citreamicins, novel antibiotics from Micromonospora citrea: isolation, characterization, and structure determination.
abstract: A new family of antibacterial antibiotics has been isolated from Micromonospora citrea. The compounds, designated citreamicins alpha, beta, gamma, zeta and eta are of the polycyclic xanthone structure type. Their isolation, characterization and structure determination are presented.
