| Definition | Phenelfamycin D was isolated from two environmental isolates called AB999F-80 and AB1047T-33. They were both identified as Streptomyces violaceoniger strains. Both these strains were found to produce phenelfamycins A-F and unphenelfamycin. Phenelfamycin D has a disaccaride moeity and is isomeric with phenelfamycin C. All phenelfamycins were selected due to their activity against anaerobic bacteria, especially Clostridioides difficile. |
