摘要：

A bacterial strain, SCE2, identified as Bacillus polymyxa, produced an anti-microbial substance active against yeasts, fungi and different genera of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, in liquid medium and in plate assays. This substance appeared to be an antibiotic different from the polymyxin group, mainly because of its action against the majority of Gram-positive bacteria tested and its lack of activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a species usually killed by polymyxins. Preliminary characterization showed resistance to heat (65-degrees-C, 2 h), to proteases, trypsin, lysozyme, deoxyribonuclease I, ribonuclease A, phospholipase C, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, ether and to strong alkali treatment (2 M NaOH). The molecular weight was less than 3500. The B. polymyxa strain harboured a plasmid that did not correlate with antibiotic production; after curing experiments, a derivative strain, SCE2(46), was isolated that lacked the plasmid pFS1, but showed the same inhibitory spectrum as the wild-type strain.
