Abstract |
In order to search for new antibiotics from anaerobic bacteria, a large number of samples from domestic soil were collected and processed by apropriate methods. A potential strain, Streptococcus sp. An-21-1, was found to produce antimicrobial compounds. The Results were as follows; 1. During fermentation, the bacteria grew rapidly up to 20hr, thereafter entered the death phase. The optimal temperature and pH for the bacterial growth were $37^{circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. 2. Antibiotics were purified from culture broth by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography and Sepadex L.H 20 column. 3. Physicochemical properties of Ap-1 and Ap-2 were similar ; Their melting points were between $234-237^{circ}C$. Color reactions of ninhydrin, 2,7-dichlorofluorescein, 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, Dragendroffs reagent and 20% $H_2SO_4$, were positive. Therefore, we assumed that these antibiotics have amine group, immine group, alkaloid, and lipid components. These were stable to heat. UV spectrophotometry showed two peaks at 210 nm and 260 nm. From above results, we assumed these antibiotics are belong to the peptide antibiotic family. |
