Description
Spores of B. subtilis were produced in the presence of several cationic compounds. Thermal destruction studies revealed that cationic compounds increased heat resistance of the spores. Of the compounds tested, lysine rich histone, isolated from calf thymus, afforded the greatest degree of protection against moist heat at 100°.
