Clostridium sporogenes is a gram-positive , rod-shaped, spore-forming, motile bacterium of the genus Clostridium . It grows under mesophilic , anaerobic conditions at a pH of 5.7 to 8.5 (optimally pH 7). It occurs in human and animal intestines, the soil, and seawater and freshwater sediments. Because of their close relationship and similar properties, strains of C. sporogenes are used as a substitute for C. botulinum in the determination of D values to ensure the commercial sterility of canned food.
