Thiocillins I and II were isolated from the culture broth of Bacillus cereus G-15, and thiocillins II and III from that of Bacillus badius AR-91. Also, the former two were probably produced by Bacillus megatherium I-13. These antibiotics active against Gram-positive bacteria are soluble in a mixture of chloroform and methanol, show characteristic ultraviolet absorptions (maxima at ca. 275 nm and ca. 348 nm), and contain a high content of sulfur, as much as approximately 15%. They are related to each other and also to micrococcin P, but differentiated by chromatographic behaviours.
硫霉素I和II是从蜡样芽孢杆菌G-15的培养液中分离得到的，硫霉素II和III则是从短芽孢杆菌AR-91的培养液中分离得到的。此外，前两者可能是由巨大芽孢杆菌I-13产生的。这些对革兰氏阳性菌有活性的抗生素可溶于氯仿和甲醇的混合液中，呈现出特征性的紫外吸收（在约275nm和约348nm处有最大值），并且含有高达约15%的硫。它们彼此相关，也与微球菌素P相关，但通过色谱行为得以区分。
