Abstract

Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (Ia) and 6-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (IIa) were isolated from the mycelium of the strain Streptomyces cinnamonensis ATCC 15 413. Identification and structure elucidation were performed by spectroscopic methods. Both compounds weakly inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria.
