Abstract
During the screening of antifungal antibiotics from microbial metabolites, we selected Pseudomonas aeruginosa KGM-100 showing powerful antagonistic activity against various phytopathogenic fungi. Antibiotics KGM-100A and KGM-100B were purified from the culture broth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa KGM-100 by diaion HP-20 column chromatography, ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel column chromatography, preparative TLC and recrystallization. KGM-100A which was recrystallized in MeOH showed antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of fungi and bacteria. Physico-chemical properties of KGM-100A were determined and identified to be phenazine-l-carboxylic acid by UV, IR, $^{1}$H-NMR, $^{13}$C-NMR, mass spectrum, and elemental analyses.
