Cystocin is identified from the screening of streptomyces sp GCA0001. It is isolated from the culture of streptomyces sp GCA0001. A white coloured cystocin is structurally similar to puromycin, an antibiotic produced by streptomyces alboniger. Like puromycin, cystocin possesses an antibacterial, antitumour and antiviral activity. It impairs the protein synthesis by inhibiting polypeptide chain elongation.
