Bacterial Production of Saxitoxin
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1988 A bacterium was isolated from the homogenate of Protogonyaulax tamarensis cells cultured in T1 medium containing antibiotics. The culture broth after centrifugation, to remove the cells, and the bacterial cells contained a toxin that could kill mice with signs similar to those of poisoning by paralytic shellfish toxins or tetrodotoxin. The toxin in the
