  • Title: Single, chemically defined sporulation medium for Bacillus subtilis: growth, sporulation, and extracellular protease production.
    Author: Hageman JH, Shankweiler GW, Wall PR, Franich K, McCowan GW, Cauble SM, Grajeda J, Quinones C.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1984 Oct; 160(1):438-41. PubMed ID: 6148336.
    Abstract:
    The composition and application of a single, chemically defined medium or growth and sporulation of Bacillus subtilis is described. At 37 degrees C cells grew with a doubling time of about 40 min; cultures attained near-maximal spore formation (70 to 80% by 12 h after the end of exponential growth and produced 1 X 10(9) to 2 X 10(9) heat-resistant free spores at 24 h. Dipicolinic acid production was completed between 7 and 11 h. Cells grown in the single, chemically defined medium excreted levels of serine and neutral proteases comparable to those excreted in nutrient broth medium.
