The aims of this study were screening of the secondary metabolite products and evaluation antimicrobial activity. Bioactives are chemical compounds often referred to as secondary metabolites. Twenty one bioactive compounds were identified in the methanolic extract of Fusarium oxysporum. The identification of bioactive chemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. Melissa officinalis was very highly active 6.470±0.25 mm. The results of anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activity produced by Fusarium oxysporum showed that the volatile compounds were highly effective to suppress the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus (5.893±0.20) and Streptococcus pyogenes (6.001±0.19). Based on the significance of employing bioactive compounds in pharmacy to produce drugs for the treatment of many diseases, the purification of compounds produced by Fusarium oxysporum can be useful.
