Abstract
When spores of Bacillus subtilis strain Marburg are heated (90° to 100°C) in a vacuum for 9 to 12 hours and then plated, numerous mutants are obtained, and very few spores are killed. Disproportionately large numbers of these mutants exhibit abnormal sporulation.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
