# Actaplanin

Actaplanin is a complex of broad-spectrum antibiotics made by Actinoplanes bacteria. Research carried out by a group in Eli Lilly and Co. in 1984 identified several actaplanins using high-performance liquid chromatography. Actaplanins A, $B_1,$ $B_2,$ $B_3,$ $C_1$ and G were shown to be composed of the same peptide core, an amino sugar, and varying amounts of glucose, mannose, and rhamnose.
