N S Egorov, and Zh K Loriia, and S N Vybornykh, and R Khamrun

The bacitracin effect on spore germination in Bacillus licheniformis 28 KA--the producer of this antibiotic on media of various composition has been studied. Different intensity of antibiotic synthesis has been revealed on various media. A high content of presynthesized bacitracin has an inhibitory effect on spore germination in B. licheniformis.
