a
Values are averages for three independent spore preparations.
b
Spores were decoated and plated onto BHI medium containing 1 μg/ml of lysozyme. ND, not determined.
c
Value that is significantly different from that for wild-type spores with a P value of ≤0.005 as determined by a two-tailed analysis of variance.
