Abstract

This disclosure describes four new antibacterial agents designated LL-CO8078.alpha..sub.1, LL-CO8078.alpha..sub.2, LL-CO8078.alpha..sub.3 and LL-CO8078.beta. produced in a microbiological fermentation under controlled conditions using a new strain of a new species of the genus Streptomyces called Streptomyces majorciensis Labeda, sp. nov., and mutants thereof. These new antibacterial agents are active against a variety of microorganisms and thus are useful in inhibiting the growth of such bacteria wherever they may be found. In addition, these agents are active as growth promotants in warm-blooded animals.
