Using antifungal activity-guided fractionation, an actinomycete, Streptomyces padanus strain TH-04, which was isolated from mummified peaches infected with Monilinia fructicola, was found to produce the valinomycin (1). The structure of 1 was established using spectroscopic data, which including one- and two-dimensional NMR experimental and mass spectroscopy. Valinomycin (1) showed antifungal activity against Phytophthora capsici, with an IC$_{50}$ value of 15.9 ${\mu}$g/mL.
