Identification of deep-sea-sediment bacteria which produce tetrodotoxin.
Forty-nine bacterial strains were isolated from deep-sea sediments. Among them, 22 strains were shown by the tissue culture assay method to produce sodium channel blockers. For some strains, high-performance liquid chromatography analysis confirmed that the blocker was tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin-producing bacteria seem to be widespread in marine sediment.
متن کاملWhat if Time Really Exists?
Despite the obvious utility of the concept, it has often been argued that time does not exist. I take the opposite perspective: let’s imagine that time does exist, and the universe is described by a quantum state obeying ordinary time-dependent quantum mechanics. Reconciling this simple picture with the known facts about our universe turns out to be a non-trivial task, but by taking it seriousl...
متن کاملPresence of tetrodotoxin and tetrodotoxin-producing bacteria in freshwater sediments.
The occurrence of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in sediment from Lake Suwa, Japan, was confirmed by a tissue culture assay, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Altogether, 17 TTX-producing bacteria belonging to five genera were isolated from Lake Suwa and Pond Inokasira. Our results indicate that TTX and TTX-producing bacteria occur even in freshwater environm...
متن کاملNo ability to produce tetrodotoxin in bacteria.
Bacterial production of tetrodotoxin (TTX) was first reported by Yasumoto et al. (8). Detection of bacterially produced TTX has been primarily by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In September 1995, Applied and Environmental Microbiology published a paper indicating that both the HPLC and GC-MS methods lacked specificity for TTX (3)....
متن کاملA tetrodotoxin-producing Vibrio strain, LM-1, from the puffer fish Fugu vermicularis radiatus.
Identification of tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its derivatives produced from a Vibrio strain in the intestine of the puffer fish Fugu vermicularis radiatus was performed by thin-layer chromatography, electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, together with a mouse bioassay for toxicity. It was demonstrated that the isolated bacterium produced TT...
