For a practical course, I have to give an introduction into endospore formation in B. subtilis. We use DSM (Difco Sporulation Medium) to induce sporulation. As I am no expert in this field, I was wondering what components in standard DSM medium cause sporulation. My guess would be the nitrate or iron, but I would greatly appreciate all of your help!
