Fermentation product A83543, comprising major components A83543A and A83543D and minor components A83543B, A83543C, A83543E, A83543F, A83543G, A83543H and A83543J, is produced by a newly described species, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. The A83543 components and their acid-addition salts (A83543 compounds) are useful as insecticides, particularly against Lepidoptera and Diptera species. Insecticidal, miticidal or ectoparasiticidal combinations, compositions and methods are provided.

Insecticide and miticide A83543 compounds and their method of production

Process for producing A83543 compounds

Newly-discovered antibiotic A10255 factors B, C, E, and F are produced by submerged aerobic fermentation of previously-unknown Streptomyces gardneri strain NRRL 15922, or an A10255-producing variant, mutant or recombinant thereof. The antibiotics are active against a wide variety of pathogenic bacteria, and also enhance feed-utilization efficiency in chickens, weanling pigs and cattle.

Process for producing the A10255 complex and corresponding microorganism

Improved processes for producing a polyether antibiotic compound represented by A82810 comprising: (1) cultivating Actinomadura fibrosa sp. nov. NRRL 18348 or Actinomadura sp. NRRL 18880, (2) feeding acid hydrolyzed casein at a rate from about 2.50-7.50 gm/L/day, (3) feeding glucose at a rate from about 2.50-7.50 gm/L/day, and (4) feeding propionate at a rate from about 0.50-1.5 gm/L/day to the appropriate culture medium during fermentation, are provided.

Method of producing a polyether antibiotic from actinomadura fibrosa sp.

New peptide antibiotic A54145, individual A54145 components A, A.sub.1, B, B.sub.1, C, D, E and F and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are useful antibacterial agents which also improve growth performance in animals, especially poultry. Biologically pure cultures of the A54145-producing Streptomyces fradiae cultures NRRL 18158, NRRL 18159 and NRRL 18160 cultures and methods of making antibiotic A54145 using those cultures are also provided.

A54145 antibiotics and process for their production

Improved processes for preparing A54145 components and cyclic peptide derivatives (A54145 compounds) comprising: (1) feeding alkanoic or alkenoic acids or alcohols, or esters or salts thereof, (2) feeding glucose at a rate from about 6-9 g/L/day, or (3) feeding enzymatic soy digest at a rate from about 2-4 g/L/day to an A54145-producing culture during its fermentation and recovering the A54145 compound, are provided.

Processes for preparing A54145 compounds

The novel glycopeptide antibiotic A-51568B is produced by submerged, aerobic fermentation of Nocardia orientalis NRRL 15232. A-51568B demonstrates antibiotic activity against gram-positive bacteria.

Improved fermentation process for producing the polyether antibiotic A80190 which comprises cultivating a new strain of Actinomodura Oligospora, NRRL 15878, and the biologically purified culture of this microorganism are provided.

Process for producing antibiotic A80190

New glycopeptide antibiotic CUC/CSV which has the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is L-ristosaminyl;

Glycopeptide antibiotic CUC/CSV and process for its production

New glycopeptide antibiotics of the formula: ##STR1## wherein W is the remaining portion of a glycopeptide antibiotic selected from actaplanin factors B.sub.1, B.sub.2, B.sub.3, C.sub.1, C.sub.2, C.sub.3, D.sub.1, D.sub.2, E.sub.1, G, K, L, M, N, O and actaplanin .psi.aglycone, and salts thereof, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are useful new antibiotics are active against gram-positive bacteria and increase feed-efficiency utilization and enhance milk production in ruminants.

Glycopeptide bioconversion products

A new antibiotic of the rifamycin class, A39079 factor S-1, which has the structure ##STR1## is an effective broad-spectrum antibiotic and increases feed-utilization efficiency in animals.

Antibiotic A39079 factor S-1

Antibiotic A-51568 is produced by submerged, aerobic fermentation of new Nocardia orientalis NRRL 15232. The antibiotic is effective against gram-positive organisms.
