SUMMARY: The germination in nutrient media of the spores of several strains of Bacillus subtilis and B. licheniformis at temperatures too low to permit vegetative growth has been investigated. Germination occurred with only 11 of 54 strains of B. subtilis and with none of 35 strains of B. licheniformis .
