| Abstract: | Bacillus stearothermophilus grown in nutrient broth produced a product which promoted recovery from thermal injury of its spores. This phenomenon was observed with nutrient agar as the plating medium but not with a medium composed of Trypticase, Phytone, dextrose and phosphate (TPDP). Recovery of injured spores was greatest in such a medium if it contained starch or charcoal. Trypticase soy agar and dextrose tryptone agar were markedly inferior to TPDP medium. |
