Spore glutamic acid pools were examined in dormant and germinating spores using colorimetric and (14)C analytical procedures. Germination of spores of Bacillus megaterium (parent strain), initiated by d-glucose, was accompanied by a rapid drop in the level of spore pool glutamate, from 12.0 mug/mg of dry spores to 7.7 mug/mg of dry spores after 30 sec of germination. Similar decreases in extractable spore pool glutamate were observed with l-alanine-initiated germination of B. licheniformis spores. On the other hand, glutamate pools of mutant spores of B. megaterium, with a requirement of gamma-aminobutyric acid for spore germination, remained unchanged for 9 min of germination, at which time more than 50% of the spore population had germinated. Evidence for conversion of spore pool glutamate to gamma-aminobutyric acid during germination of spores of B. megaterium (parent strain) was obtained.
利用比色法和(14)C分析方法,对休眠和萌发孢子中的孢子谷氨酸池进行了检测。巨大芽孢杆菌(亲本菌株)的孢子在d - 葡萄糖引发下萌发,伴随着孢子池谷氨酸水平的迅速下降,萌发30秒后,孢子池谷氨酸水平从12.0微克/毫克干孢子降至7.7微克/毫克干孢子。在地衣芽孢杆菌孢子的l - 丙氨酸引发的萌发过程中,也观察到可提取的孢子池谷氨酸有类似的下降。另一方面,巨大芽孢杆菌突变孢子的谷氨酸池,其孢子萌发需要γ - 氨基丁酸,在萌发9分钟内保持不变,此时超过50%的孢子群体已经萌发。获得了证据表明在巨大芽孢杆菌(亲本菌株)孢子萌发过程中孢子池谷氨酸转化为γ - 氨基丁酸。
