چکیده
The inhibition of sporulation septation (stage II) in Bacillus megaterium was shown with penicillin, d-cycloserine, bacitracin, vancomycin, novobiocin, chloromycetin, streptomycin, mitomycin C, and nalidixic acid.

Phospholipid metabolism and membrane synthesis during sporulation in Bacillus megaterium.
In view of previously published reports of localized membrane growth in exponentially growing Bacillus megaterium and in sporulating Bacillus cereus, an attempt was made to describe phospholipid metabolism and the topology of membrane synthesis during sporulation in B. megaterium. The cells were pulsed with radioactive glycerol or acetate at the time of septum formation, and the specific activi...
متن کاملPenicillin: reversible inhibition of forespore septum development in Bacillus megaterium cells.
Benzylpenicillin inhibits the development of the forespore septum in sporulating Bacillus megaterium cells. The inhibitory effect is a function of the duration of exposure to the antibiotic and is completely reversible by penicillinase. Under the incubation conditions employed, less than 20% of the covalently bound antibiotic is released from the cells. The penicillin which remains bound to the...
متن کاملConditions controlling commitment of differentiation in Bacillus megaterium.
The developmental stage at which cells of Bacillus megaterium are committed to continue differentiation, i.e., sporulation, depends on both the previous growth medium and the new medium to which the cells are transferred for the commitment test. The latest "stage of no return," after which cells continue differentiation, no matter how rich in nutrients the medium, is reached as soon as the fore...
متن کاملComplete Genome of Bacillus megaterium Podophage Page
Bacillus megaterium is a Gram-positive, spore-forming saprophytic inhabitant of diverse environments. It is a reservoir for industrial chemical production and is emerging as a model organism for studying sporulation and protein localization. Here, we introduce the complete genome of Page, a novel podophage infecting B. megaterium.
متن کاملAnalysis of metabolism in dormant spores of Bacillus species by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of low-molecular-weight compounds.
This work was undertaken to obtain information on levels of metabolism in dormant spores of Bacillus species incubated for weeks at physiological temperatures. Spores of Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus subtilis strains were harvested shortly after release from sporangia and incubated under various conditions, and dormant spore metabolism was monitored by (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...
