2. Shape and arrangement of your pathogen. Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive bacteria that is typically rod- shaped and arranged as singles, pairs, or chains. 3. Type of flagella, number and correctly named arrangement of the flagella. C. botulinum is motile and has peritrichous flagella. 4. Capsule or not. None 5. Gram staining status OR acid-fast stain cell wall description. C. botulinum is gram-positive. 6. Can it form endospores? If yes, explain when they form endospores. C. botulinum thrives in conditions where there are low levels of oxygen which enable them to produce endospores. These spores are heat resistant and remain latent until they are activated by an external change in their conditions which causes them to multiply and release toxins into the host. 7. Where is your pathogen usually found? C. botulinum spores are often found on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables and in seafood. The organism grows best under low oxygen conditions and produces spores and toxins. The toxin is most commonly formed when food is improperly processed at home.
