17K‐Spore Coat Protein Antigen in Sporulating Cells of Bacillus megaterium ATCC 19213

Abstract

Using immunological techniques, we studied the behavior of spore coat protein during sporulation of Bacillus megaterium ATCC 19213. Antibody specific to the main coat protein of 17,000 daltons was prepared and used to demonstrate that the spore coat protein was synthesized and deposited at a later stage during sporulation.
