The life cycle of the Bacillus aneurinolyticus Kimura et Aoyama was pursued from the vegetative cell to the free spore, using the electron microscope and the process of the sporulation has been described in detail.
At the final stage of sporulation, a phenomenon conventionally called the “burst” was demonstrated and its significant relationship to aneurinase production in the culture media was discussed.
