  • Title: [Germination of Bacillus anthracis spores].
    Author: Eremenko EI, Tsygankova OI, Riazanova AG, Tsygankova EA.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 2006; (1):72-4. PubMed ID: 16532648.
    Abstract:
    The influence of amino acids, nucleosides and inorganic components on the kinetics and effectiveness of the germination of B. anthracis spores was studied. The study revealed that the rapid germination of the spores took place after their activation at 65 degrees C in tris buffer with L-alanine in combination with inosine or adenosine added; less pronounced germinative action was caused by the addition of alanine only and the combination of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan. The rapidity of germination and the sets of effective germinants for spores of different strains were different. All B. anthracis strains under study had nucleotide sequences, of gene gerX in their genome.
