It seems very likely to me that anthrax grown in the presence of antifoam agents that contain silica would be able to incorporate this silica directly into the spore coat, skipping the step of converting silicates to silica. It appears that typical working concentrations of antifoam agents could achieve silica concentrations in the range at which silicates were incorporated into medium in the experiments in Japan. The silicate concentration in their experiments was 100 micrograms of silicate per milliliter of culture medium. That corresponds to roughly 0.01% of the medium’s total weight in silicates.
