Forty-nine bacterial strains were isolated from deep-sea sediments. Among them, 22 strains were shown by the tissue culture assay method to produce sodium channel blockers. For some strains, high-performance liquid chromatography analysis confirmed that the blocker was tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin-producing bacteria seem to be widespread in marine sediment.
从深海沉积物中分离到 49 株细菌。其中,22 株通过组织培养检测法显示能产生钠离子通道阻断剂。对于某些菌株,高效液相色谱分析证实该阻断剂为河豚毒素。产河豚毒素的细菌似乎广泛存在于海洋沉积物中。
