Microorganism for the degradation of moenomycins, process for the degradation and use of the degradation products

摘要

It is possible with the aid of a Bacillus species or the appropriate enzymes obtained therefrom to degrade phosphoglycolipid antibiotics. The degradation products of the moenomycins have antibiotic activity or can be used as building block in the synthetic preparation of transglycosylase inhibitors.
