53 Kanamycin B, colorless crystals, m.p. dec. from 170°, [ajn^* 



+ 135° (c 0.63 in water). 



Acid hydrolysis yields 2-deoxystreptamine and kanosa- 

 mine, but no 6-glucosamine as from kanamycin. An un- 

 identified ninhydrin-positive compound was obtained in- 

 stead. Positive Schiff, Molisch, Elson-Morgan tests.
