Abstract
ABSTRACT
All 47 food-borne isolates of
Bacillus cereus sensu stricto
, as well as 10 of 12 food-borne, enterotoxigenic isolates of
Bacillus thuringiensis
, possessed appendages. Spores were moderately to highly hydrophobic, and each had a net negative charge. These characteristics indicate that spores of food-associated
B. thuringiensis
and not only
B. cereus sensu stricto
have high potential to adhere to inert surfaces.
