Abstract
Seven-hour sporulating cells of Clostridium perfringens type A strain NCTC 10240 grown in the presence of raffinose versus starch were larger, produced a thicker cortex, and were altered in spore coat structure. Strain NCTC 8798 possessed an expanded subcoat region and (or) produced coat fragments when grown in the presence of raffinose.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
