Resistance properties and the role of the inner membrane and coat of Bacillus subtilis spores with extreme wet heat resistance

Aims A protein termed 2Duf greatly increases wet heat resistance of Bacillus subtilis spores. The current work examines the effects of 2Duf on spore resistance to other sporicides, including chemicals that act on or must cross spores’ inner membrane (IM), where 2Duf is likely present. The overall ai...
