Abstract excerpt
Germination of endospores of Bacillus subtilis involves the activities of several germination-specific lytic enzymes, including glucosaminidase and lytic transglycosylase. Another non-hydrolytic activity, likely to be due to an epimerase, also occurs. The effect of pH on enzyme activities and the overall germination rate was measured. Optimal germination occurred between pH 7-9; however, optimum glucosaminidase...
