Kinetics of cultivable endogenous soil microflora on Luria Bertani agar in Turkish soil from a naturally contaminated animal burial site following treatment with (A) sterile phosphate buffered saline (blue) and (B) germinants (red). Microcosms were treated with germinants on Day 0 (300 mM L-alanine, 15 mM inosine) and Day +2 (500 mM L-alanine, 25 mM inosine Solid lines represent the viable count and dashed lines indicate spore counts ± SD (n = 3).
