Splitting Line of Bacterial Spore
Nature, 1967THE mechanisms involved in the germination of bacterial spores have been studied extensively from the biochemical and morphological points of view11,2. Details of morphological changes occurring during germination, however, have not yet been demonstrated clearly, It is not known whether or not, when a new vegetative cell emerges from the spore, the ...

The kinetics of germination in bacterial spores
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1982Abstract The entire absorbance vs. time curve of a sample of germinating bacterial spores can be accurately described by a model which considers that the spores rate of entry into the phase initiation of germination is determined by transitions between three spore states.

The antigenic properties of bacterial spores
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 19441°. Bacterial spores are antigenic. 2°. Spore-antigen is distinct and separate from the antigens of the bacillary forms to which the spores give rise on germination. 3°. Antigens of the spores of various kinds of spore-bearing bacilli are also mutually distinct. I am greatly indebted to Miss A.de Groot for her technical assistence.

Resistance of Bacterial Spores
2014This chapter discusses the resistance of spores of Bacillales and Clostridiales, with focus Bacillus species, in which spore resistance mechanisms are best understood, with most specific knowledge from work with B. subtilis spores. The spore coat plays a major role in spore resistance.

Molecular Structure of the Bacterial Spore
1978Publisher Summary In the differentiation of a bacterial cell into a spore, a number of new morphological structures are formed. The cortex and germ cell wall are specialized adaptations of vegetative structures. Spore coats, exosporia, and appendages are new structures embodying new classes of microbial products. Within the spore cell or core, unique

A stochastic model of bacterial spore germination
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1984A stochastic approach is used to derive a model equation capable of describing the observed sigmoid-shaped absorbance vs time curve of a sample of germinating bacterial spores. The time required by an individual spore to complete the observed change consists of an initial interval of no change (the microlag time) followed immediately by the duration of

Heat Injury of Bacterial Spores
1978Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the heat injury of bacterial spores. Heat injury of bacterial spores, like injury of vegetative cells, is characterized by the inability of the injured spores, as a result of sublethal damage suffered during heating, to develop visible signs of growth under conditions suitable or even optimal for unheated ...
