Abstract
Actinomycete culture LL-D37187 has been found to produce the new polye ther antibiotic martinomycin(1)). Taxonomic studies, including morphol ogical, physiological, and cell wall chemistry analyses, revealed that culture LL-D37187 is a novel streptomycete species, and the proposed name is Streptomyces salvialis. Martinomycin exhibits activity against the Southern Army Worm (Spodoptera eridania) and Gram-positive bacter ia.
