A bleaching herbicidal activity of methoxyhygromycin (MHM) produced by an actinomycete strainStreptomycessp. 8E-12

To screen bioherbicidal isolates and evaluate herbicidal activity of methoxyhygromycin (MHM) produced by Streptomyces sp. 8E-12.Streptomyces sp. 8E-12 with herbicidal activity was selected through seed germination bioassay. An active metabolite, MHM was isolated from culture broth by carbon absorption, butanol extraction, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and G-10 chromatography, and preparative HPLC. The metabolite was identified by electrospray...
