to produce spores for Ivins under the project entitled "Procedure
for Anthrax Spore Preparation in Bench Top Fermentors."
On 03/25/1997, [____] received four (4) iml
polypropylene tubes containing Bacillus anthracis Ames for use in
fermentor production runs. On 04/07/1997 began the first
spore production run of the 19 total runs that would be initiated
for shipment to Ivins/USAMRIID between 04/23/1997 and 09/03/1997.
Summary of Fermentation Production Runs
on 04/12/1997,[ ___completed the first fermentation
production run, which resulted in 6.3x10*" total spores or 70ml
of 9.0x10*° spores/ml. During dilutions both before and after
heat shock procedures no Bacillus globigii contamination was
noted.
On 04/14/1997,[____]completed the second fermentation
production run, which resulted in 9.5x10** total spores or 150ml
of 6.3x107° spores/ml. During dilutions both before and after
heat shock procedures no Bacillus globigii contamination was
noted.
On 04/18/1997,[_______Jaborted the fermentation run that
began on 04/15/1997 due to Bacillus globigii contamination.
According to[__—sijnotebook this batch was autoclaved on
04/18/1997.
On 04/22/1997,[______] completed the fourth fermentation
production run, which resulted in 7.0x10” total spores or 280ml
of 2.5x107° spores/ml. During dilutions both before and after
heat shock procedures no Bacillus globigii contamination was
noted.
On 04/25/1997,[___] completed the fifth fermentation
production run, which resulted in 7.5x10” total spores or 250ml
of 3.0x10?° spores/ml. During dilutions both before and after
heat shock procedures no Bacillus globigii contamination was
noted.
On 05/19/1997,[___]completed the sixth fermentation
production run, which resulted in 4.8x10¥ total spores or 120ml
of 4.0x107° spores/ml. During dilutions both before and after
heat shock procedures no Bacillus globigii contamination was
noted.
On 05/22/1997,[_______]completed the seventh
fermentation production run, which resulted in 5.3x10™ total
spores or 155ml of 3.4x10?° spores/ml. During dilutions both
