In the antibiotic program conducted in our laboratories, a strain of Streptomyces hygroscopicue isolated from soil was found to produce e water-soluble, strongly basic entibiotic active against gram-negative end gram-positive bacteria. The antibiotic, called LL-AC541, was isolated by carbon and ion-

β¦ Synopsis
Previous communications 192 from these Laboratories have described the isolation and characterization of a new antibiotic, designated as LL AV290, that exhibited both in viva and in vitro activity against gram positive bacteria. We now wish to report some results on the partial structure of this antibiotic.tt Initial degradative studies1 indicated this material to be a glycopeptide with some structural similarities to both vancomycin3 and the ristocetins. 4 Elemental analysis 1 on LL AV290 indicated the presence of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine and N-alkyl.
