Growth and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum in moldy tomato juice.
Tomato juice inoculated with Cladosporium sp. or Penicillium sp. developed pH gradients with the upper portions near the mold mats having pH values near neutrality and the lower portions remaining more acid. Clostridium botulinum spores in these moldy tomato juices germinated, grew out, and produced toxin.
متن کاملCharacterization of Clostridium botulinum spores and its toxin in honey
Botulism is a serious paralytic disease caused by Clostridium botulinum toxin in foods. There are seven recognized serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins among which the principal prevalent types in humans include A, B and E. Infant botulism results from intestinal colonization and toxin production by C. botulinum spores in babies less than 1 year old. Honey is the most important food discriminated...
متن کاملPhysiology of toxin production by Clostridium botulinum types A and B. I. Growth, autolysis, and toxin production.
The classical concept of exotoxin implies that the toxin is actively excreted into the external environment as a direct product of the organism's metabolic processes. On the other hand, endotoxin is assumed to be a structural component of the cell. From the many reports during the past decade it is apparent that this sharp distinction between the extracellular and intracellular nature of these ...
متن کاملEffect of water activity and pH on growth and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum type G.
The combined effect of water activity (aw) and pH on growth and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum type G strain 89 was investigated. The minimum aw at which growth and toxin formation occurred was 0.965, for media in which the pH was adjusted with either sodium chloride or sucrose. The minimum pH (at the optimum aw) for growth and toxin production of C. botulinum type G was found to be ...
