| NCTC Number: | NCTC 8239 |
| Current Name: | Clostridium perfringens |
| Original Strain Reference: | FH 3653/50 |
| Other Collection No: | ATCC 12917; CAIRO 1A; CN 3417; FH 3653/50 |
| Previous Catalogue Name: | Clostridium perfringens |
| Type Strain: | No |
| Family: | Clostridiaceae |
| Hazard Group (ACDP): | 2 |
| Antigenic Properties: | serovar serotype o:1 |
| Conditions for growth on solid media: | Columbia blood agar, 48 hours, 37°C, anaerobic |
| Conditions for growth on liquid media: | Nutrient broth,37C, strict anaerobe |
