摘要
Bacillus subtilis spores were killed by CUCl2-ascorbic acid, chloride ions were essential for killing of spores, and spores with defective coats were killed more rapidly. CUCl2-ascorbic acid did not damage spore DNA, and spores killed by this reagent initiated germination. However, spores killed by CuCl2-ascorbic acid may have damage to their inner membrane..
