Abstract

Phenelfamycins A, B, C, E, F and unphenelfamycin have been discovered in the fermentation broth of two soil isolates, designated AB 999F-80 and AB 1047T-33. These isolates were identified as strains of Streptomyces violaceoniger. The Antibiotics were selected for their activity against anaerobic bacteria.
