title: Studies on a new antibiotic M-92 produced by Micromonospora. I. Taxonomy of M-92 producing Micromonospora and antibiotic production therefrom.
abstract: An isolate (strain MCRL 0404) producing a new antibiotic, M-92, was identified as a new strain of Micromonospora for which the name Micromonospora verruculosa sp. nov. was proposed. A water-infusion of dried sea tangle and dried shiitake was utilized for the production of M-92. When this strain was fermented in the medium containing this infusion, M-92 accumulated in the mycelium at about 10 times that in the broth at the peak level.
