Abstract

Spores are formed when vegetative cells of sporing aerobes are shaken with distilled water at 37 degrees . These spores are derived from the small number of cells which survive lysis. The sporulation process involves increase and concentration of solid material in the cell, and is achieved at the expense of the products of lysis of 80 to 90 per cent of the resuspended cells.
