Abstract The producing strain Streptomyces sp. 1010 was isolated from a shallow sea sediment from the region of Livingston Island, Antarctica. From the culture broth of this strain naturally active secondary metabolites were isolated identical to phthalic acid diethylester (C 12 H 14 0 4 , MW.222); 1, 3-bis (3-phenoxyphenoxy)benzene (C 30 H 22 O 4 , MW.446); hexaned ioic acidd ioctylester (C 22 H 42 O 4 , MW.370) and the new substance 2-amino-9, 13 -dimethylheptad ecanoic acid (C 19 H 39 NO 2 , MW.313). These compounds represent diverse classes of chemical struc­tures and provideevidence for the untapped biosynthetic potential of marine bacteria from Antarctica.
