Research & Evidence
Amphomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces canus. It acts against Gram-positive bacteria by interfering with bacterial cell-wall synthesis, and it is mainly of interest in microbiology and as a structural relative of other lipopeptide antibiotics. It is a microbial product rather than a plant constituent.
