## Abstract The conversion of VLB using different __Streptomycetes__ led to the isolation of VLBβether (**3**) and Hydroxy VLB (**6**). The structural assignments have been made by NMR. and high resolution mass spectral data.
Continuation of the phytochemical examination of this plant (1) which has produced two antitumor principles, vincaleukoblastine and leurosine, has yielded six previously unreported minor alkaloids in addition to those already reported from these laboratories (2). Details of the procedure leading to
## Abstract Vindoline, a major alkaloid from __Vinca rosea__ ~L~ was subjected to microbiological conversion using __Streptomyces__ cultures. Several new metabolites were isolated and their structures elucidated.
