The remaining germination ability in strain B30 seems inconsistent with the retained germination ability in strain B42 because B42 contains mutations to only one of the genes knocked out in B30. For example, we would have expected that B41 or B43, which contain both ''gerD''::cm and ''sleB''::mls should retain some germination ability instead. We could find no evidence of a labeling mix-up that could have caused the inconsistency. The germination of B42 spores occurred in only one of the many germination assays performed on this strain.</font>
