Study of the influence of different concentrations of glucose, as carbon source, and magnesium, as chemical additive, on production by the Streptomyces sp. US80 strain of the three antifungal molecules (irumamycin, X-14952 B and 17-hydroxy-venturicidin A) showed that the highest antifungal activity was obtained at 5 g/L and 3.5 mM for glucose and magnesium, respectively. Environmental factors for maximum antifungal activity production are: temperature of growth 30 C, pH 7, incubation time 72 h and agitation rate of 200 rpm. To further enhance the production of the three antifungal compounds, which possess a real potential application in the agriculture domain, and to explore the possibility of obtaining other active molecules from the Streptomyces sp. US80, we investigated the effect of the addition of heat-killed fungi to the culture media. Biochemical, microbiological and spectroscopic studies of the cultures of the Streptomyces sp. US80 strain in absence (control) and in presence of heat-killed fungus cells indicate an increase of 70% in the production of the three antifungal molecules, compared to the control culture.
