Summary. The identification of antifungal compound was made by determining the melting point, by means of elemental analysis and spectral analysis such as UV, IR, NMR and Mass spectra. Based on the spectral characteristics, the antifungal compound was identified as 4' phenyl-1-napthyl-phenyl acetamide from Streptomyces sp. DPTB16. It showed antifungal activity against Candida albicans followed by Aspergillus niger, A. fumigatus, A. flavus and minimum inhibitory activity was observed with Mucor sp. and Penicillium sp.
Key words: Marine Streptomyces, Sea shore soil, Antifungal assay
