BIOMEDICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF TETRODOTOXIN-PRODUCING BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM MARINE PUFFERFISH AROTHRON HISPIDUS (MULLER, 1841)

Biomedical and pharmacological potential of tetrodotoxin-producing bacteria isolated from marine pufferfish Arothron hispidus (Muller, 1841)

Specimens of the pufferfish Arothron hispidus collected at Parangipettai, on the southeast coast of India, were subjected to bacterial isolation and identification.Three species were identified, namely Bacillus sp., Kytococcus sedentarius and Cellulomonas fimi.Partially-purified microbial filtrates exhibited hemolytic activity on chicken and human
