[Increase in the oleandomycin distribution coefficient at the extraction stage by using electron carrier-acceptors].

A possibility of increasing the distribution coefficient of oleandomycin on its extraction from the aqueous solution into the organic phase containing an electron carrier-acceptor was shown. It was found that the level of the oleandomycin equilibrium shift into the organic phase depended on the carrier nature, i. e.

[Components of a native solution that displace the equilibrium distribution of oleandomycin during extraction].

A marked decrease in the coefficient of oleandomycin distribution in the system of the fermentation broth filtrate-butyl acetate was observed during the transfer from the 1st to the following extraction stages. It was supposed that the oleandomycin fermentation broth filtrate contained admixtures affecting significantly the antibiotic distribution between the aqueous phase and organic solvent.
