Potassium content during growth and sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

Potassium content during growth and sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

E Eisenstadt. J Bacteriol. 1972 Oct.

Abstract

Vegetative and sporulating cells of Bacillus subtilis retain a higher level of internal potassium than do nonsporulating stationary-phase cells. The addition of manganese to nonsporulating stationary-phase cells, at concentrations required for sporulation, rapidly stimulates uptake and net accumulation of potassium and induces sporulation.
