A novel water-soluble peptide designated herein as Bu-2517 is produced by fermentation of Empedobacter sp. strain G393-B445 (ATCC 31962). The antibiotic exists in a cyclic depsipeptide structure and contains the amino acids D-serine, D-proline, L-proline, D-threo- beta -hydroxyaspartic acid, L-threo- beta -hydroxyaspartic acid, L-arginine and trans-L-3-hydroxyproline and the residue of the C14 fatty acid, 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid. The Bu-2517 antibiotic inhibits the growth of a variety of aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive bacteria. |
