STUDIES ON THE α-GLUCOSIDE HYDROLASE INHIBITOR, ADIPOSIN

Streptomyces sp. TM-521 which produced α-glucoside hydrolase inhibitors, adiposins1), was isolated from a soil sample collected in Hoya City, Tokyo. The strain belonged to the "gray color" series type of the ISP -classified Streptomyces. From the taxonomic studies, the strain TM-521 resembled with Streptomyces calvus2) in the morphological and physiological properties. This strain was accordingly identified as a strain of Streptomyces calvus.
