摘要:
The present invention relates to a new microbial process for the preparation of the compound formula (I) from a compound of general formula (II) wherein R stands for an alkali metal or ammonium ion, by the submerged cultivation of a mold strain able to 6β-hydroxylate a compound of the Formula (II) in aerobic fermentation and by the separation and purification of the product of Formula (I) formed in the course of the bioconversion. The process comprises cultivating a strain of Mortierella maculata filamentous mold species that is able to 6β-hydroxylate a compound of the general Formula (II), on a nutrient medium containing assimilable carbon and nitrogen sources and mineral salts and separating the product formed from the fermentation broth, then isolating the compound of formula (I) and purifying the same. Novel strains of Mortierella maculata are also disclosed.

The latter comprises the cultivation of a Micromonospora strain which is able to 6β-hydroxylate a compound of general formula (II)—wherein R is as defined above—at 25-32° C. on a nutrient medium containing available carbon—and nitrogen sources and mineral salts, thereafter feeding the substrate to be transformed into the developing culture, then hydroxilating the substrate until finishing of the bioconversion, then separating the compound of formula (I) from the culture broth and, if desired, purifying the same.
摘要:
A process for the isolation of the pseudomonic acid A antibiotic of pharmaceutical quality from the culture broth of one of the pseudomonic acid A-producing species of the Pseudomonas bacterium genus comprising the extraction of the biosynthesized pseudomonic acid A from the culture broth at acidic pH with a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon or isobutyl acetate, followed by purification, is disclosed. The invention includes processes for purification of the isolated pseudomonic acid A, including (a) by the distribution of the evaporated extract residue between the aqueous-alcohol and some aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, and then the extraction of the increased water-containing aqueous-alcoholic phase with methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, or isobutyl acetate; (b) by the extraction of the extract with aqueous ammonium hydrogen carbonate, alkali metal hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide solution and the acidification of the resulting alkaline aqueous extract, then reextraction again with a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon or isobutyl acetate; and (c) by the concentration of the extract and the recrystallization of the crystalline pseudomonic acid A in a mixture of isobutyl acetate and petroleum ether, or acetonitrile, or aqueous acetonitrile.
