Germination efficiency of the B. subtilis spores on LB plate 1.
| Spore | No. of Spores 2 | CFU | Germination Efficiency 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| WT168 | 4.64 × 108 | 4.58 × 108 | 99% |
| DR700 | 4.32 × 108 | 4.51 × 108 | 104% |
| DR1956DR1985 | 4.85 × 108 | 2.14 × 104 | 0.0044% |
1 Data reported here were the average of three independent experiments.2 The number of spores was counted under a microscope.3 Defined as the ratio of the CFU numbers on LB agar plates and initially counted the number of the purified spores.
