Abstract
The isolation of difficidin (1) and oxydifficidin (2) from fermentation broth of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 39320 and the physico-chemical characterization of these labile antibiotics are described. The structures of the compounds represent a new class of antibiotics, characterized as highly unsaturated 22-membered macrolide phosphates. Difficidin and oxydifficidin undergo reversible thermal isomerization to 3 and 4 respectively. Biological evaluation of the isomers is presented.Entities:
