| Abstract: | The ability of spores of Bacillus subtilis to germinate at 50° in sublethal concentrations of chlorocresol is related to sporulation temperature as is the resistance of the subsequent outgrowth at 50° to this substance. The degree of germination, age of spores and amount of outgrowth produced are of minor importance in determining resistance of the outgrowth. |
