Abstract
A newly isolated bacterium which produces antibacterial substances was taxonomically characterized and identified with C. equi. The major antibiotic produced was hygromycin. The minor component, newly named epihygromycin, was an epimer of hygromycin as evident by spectroscopic evidences and chemical conversions. The presence of epihygromycin the metabolites of Streptomyces noboritoensis (reported to be a hygromycin producer) was observed.Keywords
