RESUMO

Levinson, Hillel S. (Quartermaster Research and Engineering Center, Natick, Mass.) and Mildred T. Hyatt. Nitrogenous compounds in germination and postgerminative development of Bacillus megaterium spores. J. Bacteriol. 83:1224–1230. 1962.—Of the 48 inorganic and organic nitrogenous compounds tested, only l-alanine, glucosamine, and N-acetylglucosamine promote germination of unheated spores of Bacillus megaterium. Heated spores also germinate in nitrate, nitrite, l-cysteine, dl-isoleucine, l-leucine, dl-methionine, dl-norleucine, l-proline and l-valine.
