ABSTRACT
The antibiotic activity of 16 diterpenes and of 2 phenanthrehene derivatives of diterpene origin, isolated from Brazilian plants was investigated against bacteria, yeasts, dermatophytes and aflatoxin-producing fung. Eight of the compounds were completely inactive. None showed inhibitory activity against the Gram-negative bacteria assaywed or aginst the Aspergillus species. The phenanthrene derivatives, chemically very simular to phytoalexins isolated from orchids, were especially active
