Inhibition of spore outgrowth and vegetative growth of Bacillus stearothermophilus by dipicolinate.
Spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus germinated in the presence of sodium dipicolinate (DPA) but did not elongate after the emergence stage of outgrowth. Vegetative growth also was inhibited by Na(2)DPA.
