Jietacins A and B, new nematocidal antibiotics from a Streptomyces sp. Taxonomy, isolation, and physico-chemical and biological properties.
Jietacins A and B, new azoxy antibiotics, were isolated from the culture broth of a streptomycete. The antibiotics have the molecular formulae of C18H34N2O2 and C19H36N2O2, respectively. Both possess an azoxy group. They have potent activity against the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus lignicolus, and are weakly active against some fungi.
