PROTECTIVE ACTION OF PROTEIN ON NEWLY GERMINATED BACILLUS ANTHRACIS SPORES IN TISSUE BREI

Abstract

A complete loss of viability was observed when newly germinated spores of Bacillus anthracis were placed in contact with freshly ground mouse tissue. This loss was overcome by the addition of 0.18% Bacto beef extract and 0.3% Bacto peptone to the amino acid germinating mixture.
