Sorry...I misunderstood...hopefully this is your answer. "All stages of the anthrax life cycle were found to occur in soil, including germination of spores, bacterial reproduction and formation of new spores," said Hanna, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology. "Our research demonstrates that anthrax can complete its full life cycle without a mammalian host." http://www.umich.edu/~urecord/0304/Feb16_04/21.shtml Apr 24 06, 10:23 PM
