title: LL-E19085 alpha, a novel antibiotic from Micromonospora citrea: taxonomy, fermentation and biological activity.
abstract: A new antibacterial antibiotic, designated LL-E19085 alpha, was isolated from the fermentation broth of an actinomycete strain. Based on cultural, physiological, morphological and chemical characteristics, culture LL-E19085 was identified as a new subspecies of Micromonospora citrea. Antibiotic LL-E19085 alpha demonstrated potent activity against a spectrum of Gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
