Abstract: The transcriptional analysis of each of the seven ger operons of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 during sporulation in nutrient-rich Y1 medium, containing approximately 30 mM amino acids and 10 mM glucose, and in modified medium, containing approximately 14 mM amino acids and no glucose is described. The composition of the medium was found to have significant affect on expression of the B. cereus ger operons and the spores' nutrient-induced germination characteristics.
