Isoelectric Characterization of Clostridium Botulinum Type C Toxin

Characterization 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...

Structure and toxicity of Clostridium botulinum type C toxin.

chromatography on a column of 9AE Sephadex A-50 in the presence of 5% of 2mercaptoethanol at OOC. No toxic activity was detected on both the chains. They were different from each other in antigenecity, amino acid composition and electric charge. Reassociation of these two components gave a molecule with iower texic act{vity (O.1-3% of the native toxin) in the delay of S-S linkage formation, whe...

production and crystallization of clostridium botulinum type a toxin

introduction: widespread medical usage of botulinum toxins has increased the need for the precise analysis of its biological activity. the aim of this study was production and crystallization of the botulinum type a toxins. methods: in this study, clostridium botulinum was grown and inoculated into the tripticase soya broth culture media, under anaerobic condition and toxin production was monit...
