A new microorganism for breaking down moenomycins, a process for the breakdown, and the use of the breakdown products are disclosed. A new Bacillus species and the appropriate enzymes obtained therefrom can be used to break down phosphoglycolipid antibiotics. The breakdown products of moenomycins display antibiotic activity or can be used as building blocks for the synthetic preparation of transglycosylase inhibitors.
