Abstract
GRAMICIDIN, an antibiotic produced from a strain of Bacillus brevis, is reported to be soluble in the lower alcohols and to be crystallizable from dioxan and/or acetone1–3. With some special batches of gramicidin, Synge4 has obtained a few crystals from ethanol after slow vapourization of the solvent.
