title: Enhancement of enterotoxin production by carbon dioxide in Vibrio cholerae.
abstract: We found that Vibrio cholerae 569B produced much more cholera enterotoxin in the presence of added carbon dioxide than in its absence. An atmosphere of 10% carbon dioxide was optimal for maximal enterotoxin production.
