Inhibition of the Development of the Spore Septum and Membranes in Bacillus cereus by β-Phenethyl Alcohol

摘要: Remsen, C. (Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y.), D. G. Lundgren, and R. A. Slepecky. Inhibition of the development spore septum membranes in Bacillus cereus by beta-phenethyl alcohol. J. Bacteriol. 91:324-331. 1966.-The effect phenethyl alcohol (PEA) upon initial stages sporulation was studied with an electron microscope. PEA (0.35%) completely inhibited forespore membranes. Some treated cells did form axial filament chromatin material regarded as first stage sporulation, but this delayed 4 to 5 hr compared untreated cells. The definite these membrane systems lends support belief that primary site inhibition may be bacterial membrane. fine-structure details observed during were agreement structure published for other species.
