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.

Standardization of process for increased production of pure and potent tetanus toxin [PDF]

Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2013
When stationary pot culture was replaced by submerged cultivation of Clostridium tetani, an anaerobic organism, in afermentor using a vibromixer and optimum supply of sterile air to the headspace of the fermentor to flush out the accumulatedgases, a ...

The Germination of Spores of Clostridium tetani [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1972
SUMMARY: The spores of Clostridium tetani will germinate aerobically and anaerobically in complex media such as heart infusion broth or tryptone with yeast extract at 37° and pH 7.5. A synthetic medium as effective as heart infusion broth for germination under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions consists of 1 mM-methionine, 100 mM-lactate, 82 μM ...

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.

Some Cultural Reactions Of Clostridium Tetani [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1970
Summary Probably because CI. tetani is a well-defined species whose recognition is rarely difficult, no recent attempts have been made to clarify the present uncertainties about its gelatinolytic and proteolytic activity. In the present study of 71 strains of the organism, all of them were shown to produce gelatinase, and none was proteolytic.

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.
