Abstract excerpt
The effect of calcium on germination of coat-modified Bacillus cereus T spores was investigated. Coat-modified spores produced either by chemical extraction (SDS-DTT-treated spores) or by mutagenesis (10LD mutant spores) were unable to germinate in response to inosine. While SDS-DTT-treated spores could germinate slowly in the presence of L-alanine, 10LD mutant spores could not germinate at all. The lost or...
