Summary

THE ABILITY OF UNHEATED AND HEATED SPORES OF NONPROTEOLYTIC CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM TYPES B AND F, AND OF THE WEAKLY PROTEOLYTIC TYPE G, TO GROW AND PRODUCE TOXIN IN CRABMEAT AND BROTH WAS INVESTIGATED. BOTH HEATED AND UNHEATED SPORES OF ALL THREE TYPES GREW AND PRODUCED TOXIN AT 299 K (26 DEG C) IN BROTH AND CRABMEAT. TYPES B AND F GREW IN BROTH AT 285, 281 AND 277 K (12, 8 AND 4 DEG C) WHEN UNHEATED BUT ONLY AT 285 AND 281 K WHEN HEATED ; THEY DID NOT GROW IN CRABMEAT AT ANY OF THESE TEMPERATURES, HEATED OR NOT. HEATED AND UNHEATED TYPE G GREW AT 285 K IN BOTH BROTH AND CRABMEAT BUT NOT AT LOWER TEMPERATURES.
