Sections of germinating spores of Bacillus polymyxa show that the primordial cell wall consists of a single layer. The intermediate layer and an outer rectangular array of macromolecules found on vegetative cells do not appear until the spore coats crack open about 60 min after initiation of germination. The initial areas of the new components appear in patches under the cracks in the coats. Within 10 min the wall is completed and takes on the profile seen in the vegetative cell. Negative staining and freeze-etching techniques show the regular structure to be identical with that previously shown for mature cells, although the subunits are more readily visible in negatively stained preparations.
