It was found that the bioactive compound, dibutyl phthalate, was produced by a new soil isolate Streptomyces albidoflavus 321.2. Once this active compound was recovered by ethyl acetate from the fermented broth, being possible to isolate 13.4 mg/l, it was purified by paper, silica gel column, thin layer and gas chromatography. Structure was determined by analysing UV, IR and GC-MS spectra. During analysis, such active compound showed strong activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as unicellular and filamentous fungi. The antimicrobial activity of the compound was reversed by the amino acid proline. No acute toxicity was observed.
