Abstract

A new chemically defined liquid medium, MODS, was developed for the aerobic growth and anaerobic growth and sporulation of Bacillus cereus strains. The comparison of sporulation capacity of 18 strains of B. cereus has shown effective growth and spore production in anaerobiosis..

Keywords: Anaerobiosis; B. cereus; Chemically defined sporulation medium; MODS medium; Sporulation.
