Core wet density of spores of strains with coat defectsa
| Strain | Core wet density, g/mlb |
|---|---|
| PS533 (wild type) | 1.382 (34) |
| PS3328 (cotE) | 1.380 (34) |
| PS4149 (gerE) | 1.379 (35) |
| PS4150 (cotE gerE) | 1.376 (36) |
Purified spores of various strains were decoated, and their core wet densities were determined as described in Materials and Methods.
Values in parentheses are percentages of core wet weight that were water, calculated as described previously (20).
