Deletion analysis of the Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1997 To further our knowledge of the structure-function relationship and mechanism of action of the Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), a series of recombinant CPE (rCPE) species containing N- and C-terminal CPE deletion fragments was constructed by recombinant DNA approaches.

Thermal Inactivation of Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin
Journal of Food Protection, 1978 Thermal inactivation studies of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin revealed that biological activity was destroyed within 5 min at 60 C, whereas about 10% or less residual serological activity could be detected even after 80 min of exposure at 60 C in saline or in phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 or 8.0.

Enterotoxin synthesis by nonsporulating cultures of Clostridium perfringens [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1986 Chemostat-cultured Clostridium perfringens ATCC 3624 and NCTC 10240, and a nonsporulating mutant strain, 8-5, produced enterotoxin in the absence of sporulation when cultured in a chemically defined medium at a 0.084-h-1 dilution rate at 37 degrees C. The enterotoxin was detected by serological and biological assays.

Clostridium and Bacillus Binary Enterotoxins: Bad for the Bowels, and Eukaryotic Being
Toxins, 2014 Some pathogenic spore-forming bacilli employ a binary protein mechanism for intoxicating the intestinal tracts of insects, animals, and humans. These Gram-positive bacteria and their toxins include Clostridium botulinum (C2 toxin), Clostridium difficile (
