The Sporulation of Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1950 SUMMARY: In the sporulation of Clostridium tetani, a rod-like fusion nucleus is formed from the two nuclear units typical of a ‘smooth’ bacillus. The fusion nucleus divides into two smaller rods, one of which degenerates; the other is included in the spore.
