Red pigment in Bacillus megaterium spores.
Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 spores contained a unique red pigment in their membranes that was not found in other species. This red pigment, presumably a carotenoid, was synthesized about the time of dipicolinic acid synthesis during sporulation and was associated with the forespores. A yellow pigment was synthesized during sporulation in rich medium and was found in the mother cell compartment...
متن کاملDipicolinic acid location in intact spores of Bacillus megaterium.
Beta-attenuation analysis of intact spores of Bacillus megaterium containing tritium-labeled dipicolinic acid has shown that dipicolinic acid is located in the spore protoplast and not in the cortex.
متن کاملCytological Comparison of Spores of Different Strains of Bacillus Megaterium.
The content of the phosphorus fractions in bacillus spores reveal a marked difference in the quantity of residue phosphorus (Fitz-James and Young, 1959). In particular, the spores of two strains of Bacillus megaterium contained a residue phosphorus of over 1 per cent of the dry weight whereas in another strain it was essentially nil. This residue fraction remaining after a modified Schmidt and ...
متن کاملSulfure requirement for postgerminative development of Bacillus megaterium spores.
In Bacillus megaterium, the transition from bacterial spore to vegetative cell has been divided into phases of germination, swelling, emergence, elongation, and cell division. This has been demonstrated both in simple (Levinson and Hyatt, 1956) and in complex (Mandels et al., 1956) media, the primary tool for quantitative measurement being the change in respiratory rate accompanying each new de...
متن کاملBiochemistry of L-proline-triggered germination of Bacillus megaterium spores.
The mechanism by which L-proline triggers germination in Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 spores was investigated. First, brief exposure of spores to L-proline, followed by dilution, was sufficient to trigger germination. Once germination was triggered, the spores continued initiation of germination and did not require high concentrations of L-proline. Triggering of germination was pH and temperatu...
