Cefoxitin, a semi-synthetic cephamycin: a microbiological overview (1978)
Birnbaum, J., Stapley, E. O., Miller, A. K., Wallick, H., Hendlin, D., Woodruff, H. B.
Cefoxitin is a chemically modified form of a member of a new family of β-lactam antibiotics, the cephamycins. Cefoxitin resembles the cephalosporins, but due to its 7α-methoxyl group (a unique...
MK0787 (N-formimidoyl thienamycin): evaluation of in vitro and in vivo activities.
Kropp, H, Sundelof, J G, Kahan, J S, Kahan, F M, Birnbaum, J
The practical application of thienamycin, a novel beta-lactam antibiotic with a broad activity spectrum, was compromised by problems of instability. MK0787, N-formimidoyl thienamycin, does not have...
Fermentation Process for Double-Stranded Ribonucleic Acid, an Interferon Inducer
Lago, B. D., Birnbaum, J., Demain, A. L.
Double-stranded ribonucleic acid (ds-RNA) isolated from Escherichia coli infected with bacteriophage MS2 is a potent interferon inducer. High levels of ds-RNA are formed in nonpermissive cells...
Product Inhibition of the Fermentative Formation of Glutamic Acid
Nunheimer, T. D., Birnbaum, J., Ihnen, E. D., Demain, A. L.
The addition of penicillin to cells of Corynebacterium glutamicum growing in 5-liter fermentors initiated the excretion of glutamic acid. The rate of glutamate production in fermentors declined...
Microbial Epoxidation of cis-Propenylphosphonic to (−)-cis-1,2-Epoxypropylphosphonic Acid
White, R. F., Birnbaum, J., Meyer, R. T., Ten Broeke, J., Chemerda, J. M., Demain, A. L.
Eighteen species of Penicillium, one of Oidium and one of Paecilomyces were found to effect a stereospecific conversion of cis-propenylphosphonate to fosfomycin which was identified by paper...
