Thank you. Clostridium botulinum can be killed by proper sterilization but mostly it is their spores that are stubborn because they are very resistant to heat. C. botulinum spores can be killed by heating to extreme temperature (120 degrees Celsius) under pressure using an autoclave or a pressure cooker at for at least 30 minutes. The toxin itself can be killed by boiling for 10 minutes.
