Abstract
Erythromycins, particularly with C-13 substituents R1 (e.g. C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl groups) are prepared by fermenting suitable organisms in the presence of R.sub.1 CO.sub.2 H. A preferred organism is Saccharopolyspora erythraea preferably containing an integrated plasmid capable of directing synthesis of desired compounds.
