Pastel yellow of Tsukamurella pulmonis

Characteristic as secondary metabolites production inducer by actinomycetes

Tsukamurella pulmonis TP-B0596 induced production of anti-fungal 5aTHQs (5-Alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines)^[5] and anti-bacterial Streptoaminals (lipidic [5,5]-Spirohemiaminals)^[6] by Streptomyces sp. HEK616. T. pulmonis TP-B0596 was also shown to induce production of secondary metabolites; dracolactams by Micromonospora sp. HEK797,^[7] niizalactams by Streptomyces sp. NZ-6,^[8] chojalactones by Streptomyces sp. CJ-5,^[9] and Alchivemycin A by Streptomyces sp. S-522.^[10]
