Abstract
Spores of Bacillus anthracis germinated poorly at high cell densities unless the alanine racemase inhibitor O-carbamyl-D-serine was added to the germination medium. Spores derived from a variety of strains of B. anthracis germinated optimally at 22 degrees C. No correlation was found between rate of spore germination and virulence or between susceptibility of animal species to anthrax and spore germination rate using sera from those animals as the germination medium.Entities:
