Abstract
A chemically defined medium which allowed germination, outgrowth, and subsequent resporulation of Bacillus cereus T spores, without intervening cell division (microcycle sporogenesis), is described. No medium replacement was required. The second-stage spores were heat-stable and had similar germination characteristics and dipicolinic acid content to primary spores. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication began soon after germination and there was a doubling in the DNA content of the cells within 2 hr.
