Abstract:S ummary . The recovery of Bacillus subtilis spores was studied after different heat treatments at 95° and incubation at different temperatures in roll tubes in a gradient temperature incubator. Plate count agar and brain–heart infusion agar were used in the roll tubes. Unheated spores showed similar recoveries at 16–48° whereas heated spores had an optimum recovery temperature of c. 30.9. The rate of germination of untreated spores was greatest at c. 41° and ceased at 50°. Heated spores germinated at 52°5°, suggesting that recovery of heat-treated spores is not limited by their ability to germinate. Outgrowth of spores at different incubation temperatures was similar for germinated and ungerminated spores. Accordingly it is outgrowth rather than germination which is sensitive to temperature.
