title: Sporulation of Bacillus thuringiensis without concurrent derepression of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis sporulates in a glucose-glutamate medium without concurrent derepression of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Glutamate appears to regulate tricarboxylic acid cycle activity as well as to influence spore heat resistance and production of dipicolinic acid.
