Abstract

Aerocyanidin, a new Antibiotic containing an isonitrile group, has been isolated from fermentations of Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 53434. Structure 1 was assigned on the bais of spectroscopic characterization of the Antibiotic and of a degradation product that results from treatment with base. The Antibiotic is primarily active against Gram-positive bacteria.
