Biphenomycin A production by a mixed culture

The taxonomy of the partner strain ofthe mixed culture in the simulated production of biphenomycin A and the role ofeach microorganism in the mixed culture are discussed. High-performance liquid chromatography was used for the taxonomic study of the strain which was isolated from soil samples. Only a small amount of biphenomycin A was produced by Streptomyces griseorubiginosus.
