title: [Thermophilic endospores in the environment of a sugar mill in Jujuy].
abstract: Twenty six samples from green and scorched sugarcane stems and leaves, sugarmill air dust and raw sugar were analyzed. Thirty nine thermophilic bacilli strains were isolated. Physiological and morphological examinations were carried out according to Bergey's Manual. The strains were identified as B. licheniformis (66.7%), B. coagulans (17.9%), B. stearothermophilus (10.3%) y B. subtilis (5.1%).
