Abstract: Streptomyces sp. WXC was an endophytic strain isolated from the seed of Trewia nudiflora. Trewia nudiflora seed chemical components were extracted and classified. The results showed that the production of frenolicin B was induced by the addition of the Water ext., which was correlated to the upregulation of growth and secondary metabolites. Therefore, we speculated that the inducible production of the antifungal frenolicin B may be an important adaptation mechanism allowing the symbiont, S. sp. WXC, to affect its host, T. nudiflora, through the function of symbiotic chemical defense.

Key words: Trewia nudiflora seed chemical components, Streptomyces sp., WXC, Active compound, Chemical defence
