Simplified procedure for producing Bacillus subtilis spores for the Guthrie phenylketonuria and other microbiological screening tests.

Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 and ATCC 6633 spores used in bacterial inhibition screening assays for genetic metabolism defects in newborn infants were produced by using liquid synthetic replacement sporulation media. These media allowed a high degree of sporulation, as judged by direct cell counts. Sporulation took place within 23 to 27 h with these media. Also, a more rational procedure for sel...

Bioassay and dose measurement in UV disinfection.

A bioassay method was developed to measure the average intensity within a UV disinfection reactor. The survival of spores of Bacillus subtilis was determined as a function of UV dose to prepare a standard curve. Spores were added to unknown systems, and the survival rate was used to determine the average intensity. A modification was used for flow-through reactors by which spores were injected ...
