What do endospores do?
Endospores store genetic material.
Do viruses have endospores?
No.
Where are endospores located within vegetative cells?
Endospores can form within different areas of the vegetative cell. They can be central, subterminal, or terminal. Central endospores are located within the middle of the vegetative cell. Terminal endospores are located at the end of the vegetative cell. Subterminal endospores are located between the middle and the end of the cell.
Why does exposure to uv radiation cause death in vegetative cells but not endospores?
Endospores are more resistant for several reasons
Assume you stain Bacillus by applying malachite green with heat and then counterstaining with safranin Through the microscope the green structures are?
The malachite green penetrates the endospores, the counterstain of safranin will stain the vegetative cells. Endospores - greenish-blue Vegetative Cells - Red/Pink
What do endospores do?
Endospores store genetic material.
Is cocci assotiated with endospores?
Bacillus cells produce endospores.
Does a saprophyte have endospores?
Endospores are able to exist for hundreds of years before they resume growth. Saprophytes are decomposing bacteria that contain endospores.
What is the purpose of the bacterial endospores laboratory exercise?
To differentiate the bacterial endospores from the vegetative cells and to identify the morphology and location of the bacterial endospores.
Why is bacillus subtilis able to grow after exposure to even 80 degrees Fahrenheit?
The simple answer is that Bacillus is capable of producing endospores. Endospores can withstand a wider variety of extreme conditions that would be harmful to other cells - such as radiation, abrasion, extremes of heat and cold, and lack of nutrients and water.
What are the advantages of producing endospores?
The main advantage of producing endospores is that they are used to ensure certain things are sterile. Autoclaves use endospores to successfully grow.
Are endospores acid fast?
No, endospores are not acid fast because they are not cells. Endospores will stain with the acid fast stain and look fuchsia but they are not positive for acid fast.
Where are endospores located within vegetative cells?
Endospores can form within different areas of the vegetative cell. They can be central, subterminal, or terminal. Central endospores are located within the middle of the vegetative cell. Terminal endospores are located at the end of the vegetative cell. Subterminal endospores are located between the middle and the end of the cell.
Do viruses have endospores?
No.
Where may one find endospores within a bacterial cell?
stored within bacteria endospores ++
Does Mycobacterium smegmatis have endospores?
No.
Does rhodospirillum rubrum have endospores?
No.
