Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that produces a potent neurotoxin called botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is a protein that blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is essential for muscle contraction. This can lead to paralysis and even death. Clostridium botulinum does not release endotoxin.
