title: Isolation and structure of antibiotic U-68,204, a new thiolactone.
abstract: A new thiolactone-containing antibiotic U-68,204 was found to be produced by a soil actinomycete identified as Streptomyces thiolactonus UC 8478 (NRRL 15,439). The production, isolation, structure determination as well as the physical, spectroscopic and antibacterial properties of this C13H17NO3S compound are here reported. On the basis of these data, the antibiotic was identified as the 10-carboxamide of thiotetromycin.
