Relationship of Dipicolinic Acid Content in Spores of Bacillus cereus T to Ultraviolet and Gamma Radiation Resistance¹

^a Biology Department, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois 60616

ABSTRACT

Spores of Bacillus cereus T lacking dipicolinic acid showed a statistically significant reduction in resistance to ultraviolet and radiation as compared with spores with high dipicolinic acid content.

¹ The data in this paper are taken from material to be presented by P. E. Berg in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago.
