| genetic diversity of clostridium sporogenes pa 3679 isolates obtained from different sources as resolved by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and high-throughput sequencing. | clostridium sporogenes pa 3679 is a nonpathogenic, nontoxic model organism for proteolytic clostridium botulinum used in the validation of conventional thermal food processes due to its ability to produce highly heat-resistant endospores. because of its public safety importance, the uncertain taxonomic classification and genetic diversity of pa 3679 are concerns. therefore, isolates of c. sporogenes pa 3679 were obtained from various sources and characterized using pulsed-field gel electrophores ... | 2015 | 26519392 |
