Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic bacterium that produces botulinum neurotoxins. This is a pathogenic species, not a probiotic organism. The organism is clinically significant as the causative agent of botulism and is subject to strict biosafety regulations. This entry appears to be a taxonomic artifact or data quality issue and does not represent a candidate for probiotic or supplement applications.
