Abstract

Carbohydrates that are used in fermentation media were screened for sporogenic activities on Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, and B. megaterium. Out of the 15 carbohydrates tested, d-xylose (0 5%) in nutrient broth exerted maximum sporogenic stimulation on the test organisms. In shake culture experiment with B. subtilis the sporogenic action of xylose was evident even during the active multiplication of the organism in the medium.
