The effects of D-glucose anomers on the germination of dormant spores of Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 were studied, alpha-D-Glucose (1 mM) slightly initiated the germination of the dormant spores during 10 min incubation at 37 degrees C, while about 60% of the dormant spores became germinated with beta-D-glucose (1 mM) in the same conditions. From the above observations and the finding that only a trace amount of alpha- or beta-D-glucose may bind with the dormant spores, it is speculated that the beta-D-glucose-stereospecific receptor site for the germination exists on the surface of the dormant spores of the bacillus.
研究了D-葡萄糖异头物对巨大芽孢杆菌QM B1551休眠孢子萌发的影响。α-D-葡萄糖（1 mM）在37℃孵育10分钟期间轻微启动了休眠孢子的萌发，而在相同条件下，约60%的休眠孢子在β-D-葡萄糖（1 mM）作用下萌发。根据上述观察结果以及仅痕量的α-或β-D-葡萄糖可能与休眠孢子结合这一发现，推测芽孢杆菌休眠孢子表面存在用于萌发的β-D-葡萄糖立体特异性受体位点。
