Abstract
Vibrio alginolyticus has been reported as a good producer of tetrodotoxin (TTX), but the toxin extracted from this bacterium did not react to the monoclonal antibody against TTX. Surprisingly, chromatographic analyses detected high TTX peaks for polypeptone and yeast extracts used as medium materials, which were, as expected, all negative by the mouse bioassay. These results may require us to revise the bacterial production of TTX.
