title: 3-Amino-3-deoxy-D-glucose: an antibiotic produced by a deep-sea bacterium.
abstract: Gram-positive bacteria isolated from deep-sea sediments of the Pacific basin showed considerable antibacterial activity. A Bacillus strain, isolated from a sediment sample collected at a depth of 4310 m, was shown to produce 3-amino-3-deoxy-D-glucose, a known antibiotic.
