Abstract: | Summary Aerobic spore-forming bacteria were isolated from plant tissue cultures from a commercial plant cultivation station. Bacillus circulans was found to be a detrimental infectant as a serious consequence of the heat-resistance of the endospores of these bacteria. They were extremely motile, utilized several growth-promoting factors, and could be eliminated by early microscopical identification, killing by heat treatment, or by using antibiotics or disinfecants.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Gustav Kortüm on the occasion of his 80th birthday |
