The bacterium Clostridium batulinum, causing botulism ( a form of food poisoning) is an obligate anaerobic, endospore-forming, grampositive, rod shaped bacterium found in soil and in many fresh water sediments.
This bacterium produces a toxin, called botulinum toxin which is the most toxic susbtance known (cause fatal food poisoning) but in minute doses it is used to treat certain conditions involving muscle dysfunction.
