Abstract An antibiotic substance, MYC 8005, was found to be produced by aStreptomyces strain, D197. It proved to possess strong antibiotic activities against bacteria, fungi and spider mites. It might be similar to antibiotic 323/58 reported in 1962 by Kruglyaket al. This antibiotic, however, is no longer available for comparison. The producing organism resmblesStreptomyces exfoliatus (Waksman & Curtis) Waksman & Henrici but differs from this species in the surface structure of the spores. For this reason it is proposed to give D 197 the nameStreptomyces exfoliatus var.echinosporus var. nov. The nature of the symptoms observed with spider mites and the susceptibility of various acaricide-resistant strains to this antibiotic suggest a new mode of action.
