[Spore formation by Bacillus polymyxa during the inhibition of polymyxin biosynthesis].
When amino acids are added to the culture of Bacillus polymyxa growing under the conditions of active spore formation, the rate of polymyxin biosynthesis and the quantity of spores being formed decrease. All cells in the population start to produce spores under these conditions, but only some of them pass through all of the differentiation stages. Most of the cells remain in the state of prospores. Some cells which have started to differentiate are characterized by ultrastructural anomalies, do not form prospores and undergo early lysis.
