Spores from the Bacillus species, B. cereus, B. anthracis, B. thuringensis, B. lichenformis, B. globigi, and B. subtilis, were examined by direct probe mass spectrometry using electron ionization (EI) and positive and negative chemical ionization (CI). Molecular ions from free fatty acids and nuclei

External and internal changes occurring during the process of germination of Bacillus anthracis spores were observed through atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. AFM studies showed that in response to L-alanine (4 mM), as a germinant, the spore germ
## Abstract In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of spore inactivation by high pressure at moderate temperatures to optimize the sterilization efficiency of highβpressure treatments. __Bacillus subtilis__ spores were first subjected to different pressure treatments ranging from 90 to 550βM
The major DNA photoproduct formed upon uv irradiation of Bacillus subtilis spores is the thymine dimer 5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine, informally referred to as spore photoproduct (SP). A rapid separation technique for detecting and quantitating SP by HPLC was developed to replace traditional paper c
