The ability of random soil isolates and endospores to induce the PtapA-yfp matrix reporter in B. subtilis is common. Random soil colonies from six soils used during coculture screening were tested for their ability to induce fluorescence from the B. subtilis PtapA-yfp reporter both before (dark bars) and after (hatched bars) treatment at 80 °C for 30 min. A total of 507 soil colonies were tested, with an average of 40 colonies examined for each bar.
