세포외 효소를 분필하는 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens의 생육을 선택적으로 저해하는 항생물질을 분리하고저 대구 근교의 토양시료 100여점을 채취하여 Streptomyces sp. KM-48주를 최종 선별하였다. 이 균주의 Nutrient Broth 배지에서의 배양00으로부터 활성성분을 acetone 유출, $Al_2$O$_3$, chromatography, avical TLC를 하여 UV 조사하에서 청록색 형광을 나타내는 단일물질로 정제하였다. 이 물질은 주로 그람양성균과 균모, 곰팡이 등에 강한 항균효과를 나타내었으며 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens에 대한 50% 생육저해농도가 18$mu extrm{g}$/$mell$이었다. 이 물질은 열에 비교적 약하였으며 산에는 강하게 그 활성이 유지되었다. 균주의 형태 및 배양성에서 Stretommces tsusimaensis의 유이균으로 동정되었다.
One of Streptomyces sp. was screened as an antibiotic producing strain against Gram positive bacteria specifically from about one hundred Actinomycetes collections. The isolated KM-48 strain, indexed in our collection, was secreted an anbitiotic in nutrient broth culture. The active principle was extracted with acetone from the lyophilized solid of cultured filtrate. The nonadsorbed elute in aluminium oxide was isolated as a purified homogeneity which revealed a sing1e spot under ultra-violet beam on avicel thin layer chromatography. The isolated antibiotic was sensitive specifically against the Gram positive bacteria and fungi. About fifty percent inhibition of the control growth on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was 18$mu extrm{g}$/$mell$. The antibiotic was lavile against thermotreatment and stabled in acidic condition remarkably. The KM-48 was identified as a similar strain to Streptomyces tsusimaensis on its morphological and cultural characteristics.
