As a part of our ongoing efforts towards finding novel antimycotic agents from marine microflora of the Red Sea, vanillin, 5,7-dimethoxy-4-p-methoxylphenylcoumarin and the new antimycotic compound saadamycin were isolated from endophytic Streptomyces sp. Hedaya48. The producing strain was isolated from the Egyptian sponge Aplysina fistularis and subjected to different UV irradiation doses. A mutant strain Ah22 with 10.5-fold (420 mg/l as compared to 40 mg/l produced by the parental strain) improved saadamycin production was isolated. Production of saadamycin from mutant Ah22 was enhanced to 2.26-fold (950 mg/l) and 2.38-fold (1000 mg/l) under optimized culture conditions in batch culture and bioreactors, respectively. Both saadamycin and 5,7-dimethoxy-4-p-methoxylphenylcoumarin exhibited significant antimycotic activity against dermatophytes and other clinical fungi.
