Abstract
Tetrodotoxin production by Alteromonas tetraodonis occurred during the stationary phase of growth and was regulated by phosphate concentrati on; toxin production was repressed if phosphate was added at the onset of stationary phase and was over 100-fold greater in phosphate-limite d cultures than in cultures in which phosphate was not limiting.
