代谢
四碘毒素的代谢来源尚不确定。尚未发现藻类来源,直到最近,四碘毒素还被认为是宿主的代谢产物。然而,最近的报告指出,几种细菌,包括弧菌科、假单胞菌和发光杆菌属的菌株,能够产生四碘毒素/无水四碘毒素,这一发现指向了这类毒素的细菌来源。
The metabolic source of tetrodotoxin is uncertain. No algal source has been identified, and until recently tetrodotoxin was assumed to be a metabolic product of the host. However, recent reports of the production of tetrodotoxin/anhydrotetrodotoxin by several bacterial species, including strains of the family Vibrionaceae, Pseudomonas sp., and Photobacterium phosphoreum, point toward a bacterial origin of this family of toxins (L1067).
