Abstract: | A novel slide-culture technique was used to study germination and outgrowth of Bacillus popilliae spores without disturbing the microenvironment. Infective spores formed in larvae required 24 hr to begin outgrowth, whereas noninfective spores from colonies initiated outgrowth in 12 hr. Dissolution of the paraspore coincided with outgrowth and not with germination of the attached spore. Germination and outgrowth were asynchronous events and required several days in all cell populations, except for free spores. |
