Myxococcus stipitatus KYC4013 extract exhibited the most potent antifungal activity among the extracts of 207 Myxococcus strains isolated in Korea. High-resolution LC-MS analysis revealed that M. stipitatus KYC4013 produces five antifungal substances and three other secondary metabolites that were predicted to be melithiazol and phenalamide derivatives, respectively. The putative melithiazol derivatives were best produced in CYS medium and the putative phenalamide derivatives were best produced in VY3 medium.
