Description: | Growth of Cl. botulinum type A and production of toxin by it were promoted fully by external glucose, maltose and fructose in tested carbohydrates. Considerable growth of the organisms was obtained even in the absence of these carbohydrates but only an extremely low level of toxicity was demonstrable in the culture. The cause for such result was investigated, and as a result, it was suggested that the less toxicity in the absence of glucose was partly a result from the inactivation of synthesized toxin, occurring in alkaline environment, and partly from the insufficiency of any suitable energy source required for synthesis of more toxin. |
