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.

The Streptomyces padanus isolate TH04, isolated from mummified peaches, showed strong antifungal activity to Monilinia fructicola. The inhibition activity of the isolate TH04 to mycelial growth and spore germination at 1% concentration of sub-antifungal powder made from culture suspension (CS) was ranged from 79.8% to 81.0% and from 73.9% to 75.8% to M. fructicola four strains, respectively. In the test of antifungal activity in mixed culture of the isolate and M. fructicola, inhibition rate was 7.5%, 86.8% and 94.0% in 0.01, 0.1, and 1% concentration of CS containing bacterial cell of the isolate, respectively. On apples (cultivar; Fuji), the control values of the isolate TH04 crude filtrates (0.1 and 1%) were 85.9% and 100%, respectively. The results suggest that the isolate TH04 indicate development possibility as biocontrol agent of brown rot caused by M. fructicola with the study on delivery method and fermentation condition to produce an antifungal compound.
