Product Description

Clostridium sporogenes ATCC 19404 (formerly known as Clostridium botulinum), a gram-positive spore-forming bacterium, is widely used in microbiological research and has been studied significantly due to its anaerobic nature and its behaviour.
This type of botulinum is a recognised non-pathogenic form of Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium responsible for botulism. Nevertheless, Clostridium sporogenes is widely employed in laboratory investigations and bioassays due to its spore-forming and anaerobic growth capacity.
This bacterium is widely used as a model organism for studying spore formation, anaerobic metabolism, and fermentation in Clostridia. It is also employed in the fields of antimicrobial agents, environmental microbiology, and clinical microbiology.

 

Key Features

– **Non-pathogenic Organism:** Clostridium sporogenes is non-pathogenic and, unlike other strains, is safe for laboratory use.
– **Growth in the Absence of Oxygen:** Able to grow in the absence of oxygen, allowing for the study of anaerobic bacterial metabolism.
– **Spore-Forming:** Capable of forming very resistant spores, a valuable system for studies of spore resistance and spore survival.
– **Research Use Scope:** Often used in research on microbial ecology, food safety, antibiotic resistance, and anaerobic microbial behaviour, among other applications.
– **Reference Strain:** ATCC 19404. The type culture reference strain ATCC 19404 (C50H102) has been extensively characterised for its physicochemical properties of growth and yields reproducible results in laboratory investigations.

 

Applications

– **Microbiology:** Employed in the investigation of anaerobic bacteria, spore formation, and metabolism.
– **Antimicrobial Testing:** Used to develop and test compounds as antimicrobial agents targeting clostridial species.
– **Food safety & quality control:** A model organism to investigate foodborne pathogens and control the microbial safety and quality of food products, especially for anaerobic conditions.
– **Clinical Microbiology:** Investigation into the effects of spore-forming anaerobic bacteria colonising the human body and their response to environmental factors.
– **Biotechnology & Environmental Studies:** Widely employed in bioremediation and examination of the functions of anaerobic bacteria and their role in natural processes, nutrient cycling and waste degradation.
