Are only some bacteria that form spores harmful?
no bactreria form spores only plants do especiall ferns
What special defenses do spores and capsules have?
Bacteria can form capsules and spores. A capsule is a protective layer around some bacteria. They can be virulent as they can resist the body's defence mechanism. Bacteria can change into bacterial spores when the environmental conditions are unfavourable. In this condition bacteria are inactive. When the environmental conditions become more suitable the bacteria can become active and cause disease. Bacterial spores are extremely resistant and can survive most forms of disinfection and inadequate sterilisation
What are non - sporing bacteria?
Bacteria that do not produce spores.
At what stage in the microbial growth curve spores develop?
Spores form during the Stationary Phase of the Bacterial Growth Curve. During the lag phase or the log phase, things are good for the bacteria, so they arent thinking about what it is like to live without all the resources that they need, so they dont start forming the spores yet. Once the bacteria reach the death phase they are not able to form spores anymore, let alone stay alive. So the only phase that the spore forming bacteria make there spores is during the stationary phase.
Why are resistant spores useful to bacteria?
why are resistant spores useful to bacteris
What is the significance of the organication?
Endospre foming orgaism are of particular interest in the medical field because it is going to inflience the treatment of bacterial infection if the infecting pathogen is able to form spores. As you might already know, spores are formed inside the bacterial cell and are ejected into the external environment. The spores are quite tough and are able to grow into complete bacteria under the right physical conditions. Hence, killing the pathogen does not ensure the death of the spores as well. The spores can turn into bacteria later. Hence, for spore forming bacteria, the medical procedure has to be designed to get rid of the bacteria as well as the spores.
What organism can create their own food but do not produce seeds or spores?
Photosynthetic bacteria and protists to name two organisms that have no seeds or spores and can create their own food.
Is it true that microbes are considered dead if they are not moitle and stop metabolizing?
Not necessarily. They can be dormant, as is the case with bacteria that form spores.
What do fungi and bacteria grow from?
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
How long can bacteria live on glass?
depend upon type of bacteria as some bacterial species can form spores and live for many years in that latent condition if the glass is not autoclaved, but others can die withing an hour or two if no nutrition is provided to them.
How fungi and bacteria alike?
its spores
Do bacteria reproduce by spores?
Yes they do
