C2 toxicity in extract of Clostridium botulinum type C spores.

Abstract:

:Toxic protein(s) neutralized with anti-C2 toxic serum was extracted from Clostridium botulinum type C spores treated with an alkaline mercaptoethanol solution. C2 toxicity in the spores was located in the spore coat fraction and was more heat stable than that found in culture fluid.
