Two chromosome-encoded beta-lactamases have been purified from Citrobacter diversus ULA-27. They exhibited slightly different isoelectric points (6.8 and 6.2) and very similar Mr values (congruent to 29,000). Their specificity spectrum was rather wide, since they hydrolysed some cephalosporins with kcat:

Monamphilectine A (1), a new diterpenoid β-lactam alkaloid showing potent antimalarial activity, was isolated in milligram quantities following bioassay-directed extraction of a Puerto Rican marine sponge Hymeniacidon sp. Its structure, established by interpretation of spectral data, was confirmed unequivocally by
