  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Bacteria with inhibitory activity against&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Clostridium botulinum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;type C were isolated from 32% of sediment samples (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;= 1600) collected from 10 marshes in a northern California wetland over a 12 mo period. Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria with inhibitory activity were isolated from 12% and 23% of the samples, respectively. Bacteria with inhibitory activity were isolated from all 10 study sites and throughout the year. This study demonstrates that bacteria with inhibitory activity against&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;C. botulinum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;type C occur naturally in wetland sediments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
