Geosmin, an earthy-smelling substance, has been isolated from several actinomycetes. Production of 1 mg per liter of whole broth was obtained from Streptomyces griseus LP-16. After preliminary separations, pure geosmin was isolated in milligram amounts by gas chromatography. Geosmin is a neutral oil, with an approximate boiling point of 270 C, which contains carbon and hydrogen, but no nitrogen. It undergoes a reaction with acid to give odorless argosmin, a neutral oil, with an approximate boiling point of 230 C, which contains only carbon and hydrogen. Specific rotation and ultraviolet- and infrared-absorbtion spectra were determined for both.
土臭素是一种有泥土气味的物质,已从几种放线菌中分离出来。灰色链霉菌LP - 16每升全培养液可产生1毫克土臭素。经过初步分离后,通过气相色谱法以毫克量分离出纯土臭素。土臭素是一种中性油,沸点约为270℃,含有碳和氢,但不含氮。它与酸反应生成无臭的阿戈斯敏,一种中性油,沸点约为230℃,只含碳和氢。测定了两者的比旋度以及紫外和红外吸收光谱。
