The antibiotic-resistant bacteria seriously threaten public heath. Scientists of both public and private sectors are devoted to develop new drugs to overcome this problem. Marine species are highly diversity and have been shown to be a potential sources to find efficient compounds. The medicine application of the natural products from ocean increases in last decade. The purpose of the project was to isolate antibiotic-producers from sea-bottom mud. Three filament microorganisms from marine environment, Acremonium altematum T1-1, Aspergillus ochraceus N7 and Nocardiopsis dassonvillei F5, can produce bioactivity compounds. All compounds purified using silica chromatographic separation from culture extraction and determination of their structure by NMR spectrum and X-ray diffraction pattern for crystals. A. altematum T1-1 produced 5,6-dihydropenicillic acid (DHPA), A. ochraceus N7 produced penicillic acid (PA), and N. dassonvillei F5 produced iodinin. The structures of DHPA and PA were identified as derivatives of five-member lactone, and iodinin is a derivative compound of phenazine. The optimal growth of DHPA -producer A. altematum T1-1 was in 6% salinity at 30¢J and best DHPA production was in 0% salinity at 25¢J. The optimal growth of PA-producer A. ochraceus N7 was in 6% salinity at 25¢J, and best PA production conditions was below 3% salinity at 25 ¢J. The optimal growth of iodinin-producer N. dassonvillei F5 was in 6% salinity at 30¢J and best iodinin production condition was 1-3% salinity at 25¢J. Only PA has highly inhibited of B. cereus at the MIC of 75 mg/ml. The PA had cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines of P-388, HT-29 and A549 while iodinin inhibited P-388 and A549. The ED50 on the swimming ability of rotifer was 1.03 and 2.5 mg/ml for PA and DHPA, respectively. It revealed that the growth of these two mold can occur in regular marine environment and produce toxin to kill rotifer. The growth of N. dassonvilleiand F5 and iodinin caused the death and virus-invasion of shrimp.
