isolation and identification of actinobacteria from surface-sterilized wheat roots.	this is the first report of filamentous actinobacteria isolated from surface-sterilized root tissues of healthy wheat plants (triticum aestivum l.). wheat roots from a range of sites across south australia were used as the source material for the isolation of the endophytic actinobacteria. roots were surface-sterilized by using ethanol and sodium hypochlorite prior to the isolation of the actinobacteria. forty-nine of these isolates were identified by using 16s ribosomal dna (rdna) sequencing an ...	2003	12957950
blanchaquinone: a new anthraquinone from an australian streptomyces sp.	chemical analysis of an australian streptomyces species yielded a range of known anthracyclines and biosynthetically related metabolites, including daunomycin (1), epsilon-rhodomycinone (2), 11-hydroxyauramycinone (3), 11-hydroxysulfurmycinone (4), aklavinone (5), bisanhydro-gamma-rhodomycinone (6), and the anthraquinone 7, as well as the hitherto unreported blanchaquinone (8). the structure assigned to 8 was secured by detailed spectroscopic analysis and correlation to known analogues, such as ...	2004	15497950
