Abstract excerpt
Chemical changes of particular Bacillus subtilis spore components were monitored by attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR/FTIR) during spore germination on a ZnSe internal reflection element. Within minutes of the initiation of spore germination, significant changes in the amount of calcium dipicolinate (DPA-Ca) and proteins were noted in the wild-type strain. The changes in a...
