“…Spore suspension of Clostridium botulinum type C, Strain FH 6513 This strain, supplied by Dr T. A. Roberts, Meat Research Institute, Langford, Bristol, was isolated originally by Dr R. J. Gilbert, Food Hygiene Laboratory, Public Health Laboratory Service, Colindale, London. Its isolation, properties and storage, and the method of preparing spore suspensions were described by Graham & Smith (1977). The spore suspension was diluted in gelatin phosphate buffer (pH 6.6) to give a viable count of 3000 spores/ml; it was dispensed in 2 ml aliquots and stored at -20 "C. As required, one aliquot was thawed and diluted to contain 300 spores/ml.…”

Clostridium botulinum type C was not detected in 54 samples of mud even after seeding them with a small number of spores of this organism. From 35 of these mud samples. 108 strains of bacteria were isolated which inhibited the growth of Cl. botulinum type C. strain FH 6513, but did not denature preformed toxin. These strains fell into three groups: Bacillus spp. (73%); Gram positive non‐sporing rods (11%); and Gram positive cocci (16%). Seven strains of Bacillus spp. were further investigated and found to produce from two to five peptide antibiotics.
