Abstract | Feeding experiments of various derivatives of p-aminobenzamide to benzastatins-producing Streptomyces nitrosporeus were performed to observe whether new biosynthetic analogs of benzastatins were produced. The supplementation of p-aminobenzoic acid to the culture medium of Streptomyces nitrosporeus led to the production of benzastatin J, a new demethylated derivative of benzastatin B, while production of benzastatins A and B increased and benzastatins C-G were not detected. |
