AB  - Clostridium botulinum is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium that is found widely in nature. C. botulinum produces highly potent neurotoxin which causes paralysis. Yet, it is not known why the toxin is produced. C. botulinum poses a risk for the food industry, when spores germinate in food and start producing toxin.

The aim of this study was to report how different carbohydrates and metabolites affect growth, toxin production and sporulation of C. botulinum. The hypothesis was...
