Abstract
Heat resistance of
Bacillus cereus
and
Bacillus licheniformis
spores in quarter-strength Ringer solution decreases markedly after ultrasonic treatments which are unable to kill a significant proportion of the spore population. This effect does not seem to be caused by a loss of Ca
2+
or dipicolinic acid. The use of ultrasonics to eliminate vegetative cells or to break aggregates in
Bacillus
spore suspensions to be used subsequently in heat resistance experiments appears to be unadvisable.
