Potassium Content During Growth and Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Vegetative and sporulating cells of Bacillus subtilis retain a higher level of internal potassium than do nonsporulating stationary-phase cells. The addition of manganese to nonsporulating stationary-phase cells, at concentrations required for sporulation, rapidly stimulates uptake and net accumulation of potassium and induces sporulation.
