ABSTRACT:
It is intended to provide a method of conveniently and quickly detecting cereulide which is an emetic toxin produced byBacillus cereus. Cereulide is detected using the presence of cereulide synthase in a specimen as an indication. The presence of cereulide synthase is examined by detecting a nucleic acid encoding this enzyme or by an immunological method with the use of an antibody specific to the enzyme.
