Pt. Northcote et al., GLYCOTHIOHEXIDE-ALPHA, A NOVEL ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCED BY SEBEKIA SP, LL-14E605 .2. ISOLATION AND PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION, Journal of antibiotics, 47(8), 1994, pp. 894-900
Glycothiohexide alpha was recovered from the fermentation broth of a '
'Sebekia'' sp. by mixed solvent extraction, selective precipitation an
d adsorption chromatography on Diaion HP-20. The amount of glycothiohe
xide cc present in the crude preparation was enriched by photolysis. P
urification of glycothiohexide alpha was accomplished by repetitive co
untercurrent chromatography.
