An Actinomycetes strain JB isolated from Mt. Hanla had a strong antimicrobial activity against gram positive bacteria and tumor cell growth inhibition. Especially, it couldn''t degrade starch and casein as organic compounds. It was resist on lincomycin and rifampicin. The spore mass of strain JB which was arethrospore was white. DAP of the cell wall was L,L-DAP. Antimicrobial material was heat stable, dissolved in ethyl acetate, and not dissolved in butanol. In the pressnce of 0.1% phenol and 4% sodium chloride, strain JB could grow, but it didn''t growth at below 10oC . Strain JB didn''t use dextran, sodium acetate and sodium citrate as sole carbon source and L-cystein and L-thereonine as nitrogen source. The filtered broth of strain JB had the antimicrobial activity against gram positive bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 65389) and the growth inhibition of tumor cell line.
