Production and partial purification of Salmonella enterotoxin. 1978

D M Sedlock, and L R Koupal, and R H Deibel

By using a strain of Salmonella typhimurium, we detected the presence of an enterotoxin, as determined by the rabbit ileal loop assay, in various complex and defined media. The enterotoxin was concentrated by ultrafiltration of culture supernatant fluids and eluted in and adjacent to the void volume of a Sephadex G-100 column. This suggested that the enterotoxic factor was of a relatively high molecular weight, and additional evidence indicated it was heterogeneous in size. Further chromatography, using a diethylaminoethyl-cellulose anion exchanger, facilitated at least a 50-fold purification of the Salmonella enterotoxin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
