Gliocladium is a genus known for its production of bioactive secondary metabolites. Terpenes, 1, 2 sulfur-containing diketopiperazines 3 and polyketides 4 are just a few examples of the diverse structural and biological activity of these compounds. Some Gliocladium strains are also employed commercially as biocontrol agents in the field against pests. 5American foulbrood is a disease of the larvae and pupae of honeybees caused by the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae, which produces important economical losses. Owing to the lack of effective treatments, apiculture producers employ commercial antibiotics generating known consequences such as acquisition of resistant mechanisms to those drugs and introduction of contamination to the beehives and honey and other products of human consumption. For the above reasons, we began the search for specific antibiotics against P. larvae produced by fungal cultures in order to improve this productive activity.
