Effects of different cations on the germination response of wild-type spores
| Ion (10 mM)a | Maximum rate of germination (% of initial OD lost per min) in:
|
|
|---|---|---|
| l-Alanine (1 mM) | Inosine (0.3 mM) | |
| None | 0.7 ± 0.1 | 3.8 ± 0.4 |
| NaCl | 1.5 ± 0.2 | 14.8 ± 0.5 |
| KCl | 0.8 ± 0.2 | 0.07 ± 0.01 |
| CaCl2 | 1.5 ± 0.2 | 4.5 ± 0.3 |
| NH4Cl | 2.8 ± 0.4 | 2.4 ± 0.7 |
The salts indicated were added to the germination buffer.
