摘要：
Spores from several Bacillus spp. displayed a strong affinity for hexadecane and other hydrophobic solvents. The binding of B. subtilis spore suspensions to octyl-Sepharose was enhanced by ammonium sulfate and other salts, but was inhibited by detergents. Treatment of spore suspensions with strong denaturants promoted their adherence to hexadecane, presumably by exposing hydrophobic residues in coat proteins. The hydrophobic characteristics of spores may be important in the ecological adaptation of certain bacteria.
