Beyond emphasizing the favorable effects of an alkaline or 
slightly acid medium, nothing can be said. In the case of the 
peptone solutions, the usual type of germination did not occur;

that is, not with the production of germ tubes. On the contrary, 
secondary spores were formed at the ends of the mature spores, 
and the data in peptone solution for this organism represent 
percentage quantities of this phenomenon. The remaining
