ANTIBIOTICS FKI-2140, METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME AND STRAIN PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A microorganism (Penicillium sp. FKI-2140, FERM ABP-10165), which belongs to fungi and is capable of producing antibiotics FKI-2140 (FKI-2140A1 or A2, and/or FKI-2140B, and/or FKI-2140C, and/or FKI-2140D, and/or FKI-2140E, and/or FKI-2140F, and/or FKI-2140G1 or G2), is cultured in a medium to thereby accumulate the antibiotics FKI-2140 in the culture medium. Then the antibiotics FKI-2140 are collected from the culture medium. Because of having a growth inhibitory effect on arthropods, the obtained substances are expected as usable as animal drugs, pesticides and drugs.
