The electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of endospores ofBacillus anthracis and surrogates was measured in aqueous solution across a broad pH range and several ionic strengths. EPM values trended around phylogenetic clustering based on the 16S rRNA gene. Measurements reported here provide new insight forBacillus anthracis surrogate selection and for attachment/detachment and transport studies.
