title: Protease associated with spores of Bacillus cereus.
abstract: A proteolytic activity is associated with the dormant spores of Bacillus cereus T and can be solubilized by washing the spores with 1 M KCl. This proteolytic activity is responsible for the attack of beta chains of ribonucleic acid-polymerase in extracts of dormant spores of this organism.
