Four members of globomycin, SF-1902 A2, A3, A4a and A4b were newly isolated from the culture of Streptomyces hygroscopicus SF-1902. These minor components shared four amino acids in common and the fifth was either valine or allo-isoleucine. The fatty acid moiety varied from 3-hydroxy-2-methylheptanoic acid in A2 to 3-hydroxy-2-methylundecanoic acids in A4b. The length of alkyl chain greatly affected the antibacterial activity, and maximum activity was shown by the homologue (A5) possessing the longest alkyl chain.
从吸水链霉菌SF-1902的培养物中,新分离出了球霉素的四个成员,即SF-1902 A2、A3、A4a和A4b。这些次要成分共有四个相同的氨基酸,第五个氨基酸要么是缬氨酸,要么是别异亮氨酸。脂肪酸部分有所不同,从A2中的3-羟基-2-甲基庚酸到A4b中的3-羟基-2-甲基十一烷酸。烷基链的长度对抗菌活性有很大影响,具有最长烷基链的同系物(A5)表现出最大活性。
