The effects of carbon and nitrogen sources, incubation temperature, shaking speed, initial pH of culture broth as well as various concentration of NaCl on the production of cytotoxin by Salmonella choleraesuis SC-5 were evaluated in the present study. Results reveal that the optimal temperature, initial medium pH and shaking speed for cytotoxin production was 37 degrees C, pH 6.0-8.0 and 100 rpm, respectively. Tryptone was the best of the eight nitrogen sources tested for toxin production by S. choleraesuis. Among the nine carbon sources tested, S. choleraesuis produced a higher amount of cytotoxin in media containing glucose, fructose, galactose, sorbitol or mannitol as the carbon source. No toxin was detected in broths containing 4.0% or more sodium chloride in Tryptic soy broth (TSB). Cultures of S. choleraesuis in the medium containing 2.0% tryptone, 0.5% NaCl, 0.25% K2HPO4 and 0.25% of the best carbon source under the optimal conditions for 14 h resulted in the highest cytotoxin production. The Vero cell CD50 of S. choleraesuis lysate of cells grown under these optimal conditions was a titer of 589-758 per mg of lysate protein.
