Abstract:
The producing strain Streptomyces sp. 1010 was isolated from a shallow sea sediment from the region of Livingston Island, Antarctica. From the culture broth of this strain naturally active secondary metabolites were isolated identical to phthalic acid diethyl ester (C12H14O4, MW. 222); 1, 3-bis (3-phenoxyphenoxy)benzene (C30H22O4, MW.446); hexanedioic acid dioctyl ester (C22H42O4, MW.370) and the new substance 2-amino- 9, 13 -dimethyl heptadecanoic acid (C19H39NO2, MW.313). These compounds represent diverse classes of chemical structures and provide evidence for the untapped biosynthetic potential of marine bacteria from Antarctica.
