PRODUCTION OF A LETHAL TOXIN AND CL. HISTOLYTICUM COLLAGENASE ON CASEIN NUTRITIVE MEDIA

Abstract

Three strains of Cl. histolyticum were grown on various nutritive media, and a-toxin and collagenase were extracted, purified, and concentrated from culture filtrates. The a-toxin was present at levels of 500-1,000 Dlm/ml, along with 0.5-2 units of collagenase (as indicated by viscometry). Data are presented on the dynamics of a a-toxin and collagenase formation on the suggested nutritive media.
