Abstract excerpt
Dormant spores of Bacillus subtilis which lack the majority of the alpha/beta-type small, acid-soluble proteins (SASP) (termed alpha- beta- spores) that coat the DNA in wild-type spores are significantly more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide than are wild-type spores. Hydrogen peroxide treatment of...
