Forty-nine bacterial strains were isolated from deep-sea sediments. Among them, 22 strains were shown by the tissue culture assay method to produce sodium channel blockers. For some strains, high-performance liquid chromatography analysis confirmed that the blocker was tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin-producing bacteria seem to be widespread in marine sediment.
