Example 2
A total of 20 g methylmethacrylate (Sigma-Aldrich, stabilized with hydroquinone) each were weighed out into five 50 ml screw cap vessels. After adding 35 μl distilled water, 10 μl of a 40% ethanolic Bacillus subtilis ATCC 9357 spore suspension were added to each of the screw cap vessels. Then 34 μl (40 mg) β-propiolactone were added. The screw cap vessels were closed, shaken thoroughly for a short period of time, and stored for seven days at 23° C.
A total of 8.0 g methylmethacrylate (Sigma-Aldrich, stabilized with hydroquinone) each were weighed out into five 50 ml screw cap vessels. Then 10 μl of a 60% ethanolic Bacillus subtilis ATCC 9357 spore suspension were added to each of the plastic bottles. The preparations were then shaken briefly to homogenize the mixture. Then a mixture of 1.0 g zirconium dioxide, 5.5 g of a linear polymethylmethacrylate-co-methacrylate, and 5.5 g of a cross-linked polymethylmethacrylate was added to said preparation in each of the screw cap vessels. The preparations were then shaken briefly. A paste was thus formed. The preparations were then stored at 23° C. for seven days.
