Influence of starch source on sporulation and enterotoxin production by Clostridium perfringens type A

R Labbe et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1976 Mar.

Abstract

Of 16 different starch preparations tested, Clostridium perfringes NCTC 8798 yielded maximum sporulation and enterotoxin formation when ICN-soluble starch was included in Duncan and Strong sporulation medium. In general soluble starches were better than potato, corn, or arrowroot starch with regard to these two parameters.
