摘要
Phenylglyoxal at a concentration of 0.6 mm inhibited germination of Bacillus cereus T spores as characterized by a decrease in absorbance, dipicolinic acid and loss in heat resistance in a chemically defined growth and sporulation medium. In a germination medium containing l-alanine and adenosine, phenylglyoxal inhibited decrease in absorbance and affected partial loss of viability. It is postulated that phenylglyoxal interacts with free amino groups of various enzymes or amino compounds present in the spore structure thereby causing the inhibition of germination. © 1979 Institute of Microbiology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
