Abstract:
An antibiotic WS-4545 and the acyl derivatives thereof, which are active against a pathogenic bacteria and useful as an effective antimicrobial agent in treatment of infectious diseases caused by bacteria, the antibiotic WS-4545 being produced by fermentation of Streptomyces sapporonensis ATCC 21532 and its mutants in a nutrient medium and the acyl derivatives of said antibiotic being prepared by acylating said antibiotic with an acylating agent.
Abstract:
NEW MATERIAL:Acetyl esterase 4466-I and 4466-II having the following properties. Hydrolysis activity of cephalosporin C to deacetylcephalosporin C, positive; substrate specificity, hydrolyzable substrate is acetic acid ester; optimum pH, , Mn , Zn , Ni , Ca , Ba and Fe ; Km value, 11.5mM for 4466-I and 13.7mM for 4466-II; molecular weight (gel-permeation), 780,000 Dalton for 4466-I and 920,000 Dalton for 4466-II. USE:The enzyme deacetylates cephalosporin C to give deacetylcephalosporin C useful as a medicine in remarkably high yield. PREPARATION:The objective enzyme can be produced, e.g., by culturing Aureobasidium pullulans IFO 4466 at 25 deg.C and pH5-8 for 24-50hr under aeration and agitation.
Abstract:
A process for the production of biciclomycin which consists in cultivating a variety of streptomycesgriseoflavus var. Bicyclomyceticus in an aqueous nutrient medium containing a nitrogen and carbon source under submerged aerobic conditions, until a substantial antibiotic activity is communicated to said medium for production of biciclomycin and to recover the biciclomycin from the culture broth.

Abstract:
Deacetylcephalosporin C is prepared by contacting cephalosporin C with an acetylesterase produced by a strain belonging to the genus Auresbasideum or a mutant thereof. Deacetylcephalosporin C is known as a valuable intermediate in syntheses of therapeutically-useful cephalosporin compounds.
