title: Biotransformation of benzyl thiocyanate by Streptomyces aureofaciens.
abstract: Benzyl thiocyanate, a specific stimulator of chlortetracycline biosynthesis, was transformed into dibenzyl disulphide by Streptomyces aureofaciens. The disulphide stimulated chlortetracycline production to a lesser extent than did benzyl thiocyanate.
