Microincineration and elemental X-ray microanalysis of single Bacillus cereus T spores

Abstract: Single whole spores of bacillus cereus T were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and electron microprobe X-ray microanalysis before and after high-temperature (600 degrees C) ashing in air. High-temperature ashing consisted of a centripetal oxidation of the spore surface combined with pyrolysis of the spore's interior. Ashing of single spores produced a compact central ash particle, mimicking the much larger unashed spore body in outline but containing craterlike microregions, and a peripheral thin ash f… Show more

“…High concentrations of Zn in spores is apparently not a property of Bacillus spores. In Bacillus cereus, Ca comprises 2.5% of the dry weight, whereas Zn comprises only 0.08% (25). Similarly, spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus contain 0.02 to 0.2% Zn, and Ca comprises 4.2 to 15.9% of the dry weight.…”
