Abstract
Antibiotic AM-3603 which is also designated as irumamycin is represented by the following formula: ##STR1## This substance is active upon certain Gram-positive bacteria, phytopathogenic fungi and dermatophytes, and is of interest in treating various diseases of humans and animals caused by infectious bacteria and fungi and also useful for agricultural purposes. Antibiotic AM-3603 may be prepared by fermentation, in which a microorganism capable of producing AM-3603 is cultured in a medium to accumulate AM-3603 in the cultured broths, from which AM-3603 is recovered. A preferred strain is Streptomyces sp. AM-3603 (FERM-P 5619; NRRL 12518).
