Summary Effects of α- or β-D-glucose on the respiration of germinated spores (only germinated spores not including swollen spores and elongated spores) ofBacillus subtilis andB. megaterium were studied. In our conditions, net amount of oxygen consumed by 1010 germinated spores ofB. subtilis per min after addition of α- or β-D-glucose was 1.6 μg or 6.6 μg (β/α=4.13), while that byB. megaterium was 4.5 μg or 6.8 μg (β/α=1.51), respectively. However, the net amounts of oxygen consumed by 1010 vegetative cells per min after addition of α- or β-D-glucose were identical, forB. subtilis in both cases 443.0 μg and forB. megaterium in both cases 604.4 μg.
