A new antibiotic 45449 A belonging to the neomycin-group and a new antibiotic 45449 B belonging to the streptomycin-group were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces pulveraceus nov. sp. A was different from neomycin, hydroxymycin and paromomycin in physiocochemical and biological properties, and in the natures of their decomposition products, while B was distinguished from streptomycin and hydroxystreptomycin by color reaction, and from dihydrostreptomycin and dihydrodexystreotomycin by mixed melting point determination and by difference in the X-ray diffraction pattern of their sulfates.
