The release of calcium and dipicolinic acid from spores of Bacillus megaterium KM during L-alanine-induced triggering of germination has been studied using a new, simple, and rapid assay for dipicolinic acid capable of detecting a concentration of 0.5 micron. The release of both calcium and dipicolinate started within seconds of exposure of the spores to L-alanine, thus preceding other measurable changes associated with germination. From the earliest times, the two substances were released in equimolar quantities, although later in germination calcium predominated.
利用一种能够检测浓度低至0.5微米的新型、简单且快速的吡啶二羧酸检测方法,研究了巨大芽孢杆菌KM菌株的孢子在L-丙氨酸诱导萌发过程中钙和吡啶二羧酸的释放情况。孢子接触L-丙氨酸后数秒内,钙和吡啶二羧酸就开始释放,早于与萌发相关的其他可测量变化。从最初阶段开始,这两种物质以等摩尔量释放,不过在萌发后期钙占主导地位。
