Enhanced germination rate of B. cereus spores germinated in conditioned supernatants.

<p>Wild-type <i>B. cereus</i> spores were germinated with a 0.2 mM inosine solution (•) or in conditioned supernatants containing 0.2 mM inosine (▪). <i>B. cereus</i> spores were also germinated with 0.2 mM inosine and 20 µM alanine (X).
