Wet-heat resistance of dormant and superdormant spores of Bacillus species. Dormant and superdormant spores of Bacillus species were isolated, and their wet-heat resistance at various temperatures was determined as described in Materials and Methods. The spores analyzed were B. cereus (A); B. megaterium (B); and B. subtilis (C), and the symbols used are the following: ○, original dormant spores; •, superdormant spores.
