Actinomycete strains isolated from Helmcken Falls cave in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia were discovered to have antimicrobial activity against Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood disease in honeybees. The antimicrobial activity of 119 isolates grown in thre...
