ILLEGITIMATE COMBINATIONS, BACILLUS CEREUS VAR. TERMINALIS AND BACILLUS COAGULANS VAR. THERMOACIDURANS

The effect of certain sporulation conditions on the thermal death rate of Bacillus coagulans var. thermoacidurans.

One of the fundamental properties of spores which is of paramount interest to the food microbiologist is their extraordinary thermal resistance. In the canning of food products, the commercial thermal process, in order to be successful, must rid the product completely of the spores of Clostridium botulinum, and nearly so of all other types commonly associated with the raw material or encountere...

Effect of divalent cations in the sporulation medium on the thermal death rate of Bacillus coagulans var. thermoacidurans.

In a previous paper, El-Bisi and Ordal (1956a) reported that increased levels of phosphate, in the growth and sporulation medium, significantly reduced the thermal resistance of spores of Bacillus coagulans var. thermoacidurans. It was postulated that the phosphate anion lessened the availability of divalent cations to the sporulating cells and that spores so produced possessed a reduced therma...

Methyl dipicolinate monoester from spores of Bacillus cereus var. globigii.

Effect of enzyme inhibitors on the germination and respiration of and growth from Bacillus cereus var. terminalis spores.

The resting bacterial spore is characterized by its unique resistance to destruction by high temperatures and the inability to take up stain. However, when incubated in the proper nutrient medium, it rapidly undergoes several changes without loss of viability. -These changes, collectively known as germination, include, among others, loss of heat resistance, ability to take up stain, decrease in...
