The invention is related to the method of polymyxine B recovery from
fermentation broth for the purpose of pure substance recovery. The
invention mentioned above is obtained by using the method of polymyxine B
recovery from fermentation broth according invention, which abstract is
characterized by, that the filtrate is obtained from fermentation broth,
its pH and color is adjusted and purified on non-ionogenic synthetic
adsorbents of polystyrene type with specific surface 500 till 1000
m.sup.2.g.sup.-1 and fabric size 3 till 30 nm. The polymyxine B is
eluated from adsorbent by aqueous solution of organic solvent. The
polymyxine B base is coagulated from eluate after adjustment of pH to
alcaline area. The polymyxine B base is converted by mineral acid to
polymyxine B salt solution, from which is obtained crystal substance by
drying.
