Abstract excerpt
Producers of cereulide, the emetic toxin of Bacillus cereus, are known to constitute a specific subset within this species. We investigated physiological and genetic properties of 24 strains of B. cereus including two high cereulide producers (600-1,800 ng cereulide mg(-1) wet weight biomass), seven average producers (180-600 ng cereulide mg(-1) wet weight biomass), four low cereulide producers (20-160 ng...
