What is the significance of clostridium botulinum being anaerobic?
botulinum bacteria can live in the absence of oxygen. This means that they can live, grow in number, and produce the botulin toxin in a sealed jar or can
An environmental toxin that alters the role of the cytoskeleton is least likely to harm which organism?
Where are the options........? This toxin will destroy any thing that has cell wall, cell membrane.
Which is the most virulent bacteria?
Clostridium Botulinum - This is the most dangerous of all the bacteria. About 200 grams of the toxin would be enough to kill the entire population of the world.It grows where there is no oxygen and a low quantity of acid and can be found on badly canned food. In such conditions the bacteria produce toxin which, if eaten, gives you a food poisoning called botulism. When food is canned, it is heated to temperatures that destroy the bacteria. Botulism is extremely rare, but you should avoid cans which are damaged in any way. The toxin from it can be very fatal.

No. Botox contains botulin, which is made by the bacterium Clostrdium botulinum and is the same toxin that causes botulism.

What is the worlds most toxic substance?
That's totally wrong, the most toxic substance known to man is Botulin toxin, from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botulin is approx 1000 times more toxic than TCDD, and TCDD is also less toxic than polonium 210. No man made substance has come close to beating the toxicity of a certain bacteria Botulin is commonly known under the trade name of "botox" so when you're having that injected into your face remember this
