title: AB023, novel polyene antibiotics. I. Taxonomy of the producing organism, fermentation and antifungal activity.
abstract: AB023 is a complex of polyene antibiotics produced by an actinomycete, SD581, which was isolated from a Kenyan soil sample. The two main components, pentaene antibiotics AB023a and AB023b, have antifungal activity against some phytopathogenic fungi, particularly against Botrytis cinerea (MIC of 5 micrograms/ml).
