Anti-fungal materials Produced by Streptomyces albogriseus Isolated in Korean soil

An anti-fungal material producing actinomycete was isolated from domestic soil. This strain was identified as Streptomyces albogriseus by 16S rDNA sequence. YEME (yeast extract 4g, malt extract 10g, glucose 4g, D.W 1l , pH $7.0{\pm}0.2$) medium was used for production of anti-fungal materials. S. albogriseus was cultured in a shaking incubator for 2 weeks at 150 rpm and $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. An anti-fungal material produced by S. albogriseus was identified at 340nm by uv/vis- spectrometer and it showed powerful anti-fungal activity. This is the first report that secondary metabolite produced by S. albogriseus showed an activity against phytopathogenic fungi such as Collectrichum coccodes, Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium cucumerinum, Didymella bryoniae.
