Abstract
The effects of divalent cations (Ca2+, Co2+ and Zn2+) on the production of iota toxin by Clostridium spiroforme were studied. Toxin production had an absolute requirement for one or more cations in the range 1-5 mM. Using bispecific antisera, we showed that production of both the components of the toxin (ia and ib) were enhanced by divalent cations added to brain-heart infusion supplemented with peptone and glucose.Entities:
