Structural and functional analysis of hypothetical and conserved proteins of Clostridium tetani
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2014 Summary: The progress in biological technologies has led to rapid accumulation of microbial genomic sequences with a vast number of uncharacterized genes. Proteins encoded by these genes are usually uncharacterized, hypothetical, and/or conserved.

Regulation of toxin synthesis in Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Toxicon, 2013 Botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins are structurally and functionally related proteins that are potent inhibitors of neuroexocytosis. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) associates with non-toxic proteins (ANTPs) to form complexes of various sizes, whereas tetanus toxin (TeNT) does not form any complex.

Spores of Clostridium engineered for clinical efficacy and safety cause regression and cure of tumors in vivo. [PDF]
, 2014 Spores of some species of the strictly anaerobic bacteria Clostridium naturally target and partially lyse the hypoxic cores of tumors, which tend to be refractory to conventional therapies. The anti-tumor effect can be augmented by engineering strains to

The Sporulation of Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1950 SUMMARY: In the sporulation of Clostridium tetani, a rod-like fusion nucleus is formed from the two nuclear units typical of a ‘smooth’ bacillus. The fusion nucleus divides into two smaller rods, one of which degenerates; the other is included in the spore.

A universal strategy for high-yield production of soluble and functional clostridial collagenases in E. coli [PDF]
, 2009 Clostridial collagenases are foe and friend: on the one hand, these enzymes enable host infiltration and colonization by pathogenic clostridia, and on the other hand, they are valuable biotechnological tools due to their capacity to degrade various types

Taxonomy of Clostridium tetani and Related Species [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1979 Clostridium tetani and its related species C. tetanomorphum, C. cochlearium and C. lentoputrescens were examined for DNA-DNA homology and biochemical properties. Two distinctly different groups were included under the name of C. tetanomorphum: one was identical with C. cochlearium and the name C.
