Abstract: The lanthanides, lanthanum and neodymium, do not completely replace calcium in producing heat-resistant spores in Bacillus cereus SV1. The chelate stability of calcium-dipicolinic acid appears to be important in the heat resistance of bacterial spores as does the ability of calcium to produce a hydrophobic environment.
