title: New glutarimide antibiotics, S-632-B1 and B2. I. Taxonomy of producing strain, fermentation and biological properties.
abstract: Strain S-632 was found to produce new glutarimide antibiotics, S-632-B1 and B2, which were isolated from the culture fluid. A taxonomic study on strain S-632 was carried out, and the taxonomic characterization demonstrated that it belonged to the species Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The strain was given the name S. hygroscopicus S-632. These antibiotics were active against Saccharomyces sp., but inactive against filamentous fungi and bacteria, and had cytotoxic activity against KB tissue culture cells.
