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

How do these capsule and spores defenses affect the infection control measures that you need to take in a clinic?
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant and can survive most forms of disinfection and inadequate sterilisations
What is cleistocarpic moss?
A cleistocarpous (rather than a cleistocarpic) moss is a moss whose capsules do not open to release the included spores. Only after decay of the moss and its capsules are the spores dispersed (over, of course, a relatively short distance). Phascum cuspidatum (Toothed phascum moss) is a well known example. HdB
Are spores in the air most of the time?
Yes, there are spores in the air most of the time unless you are in a call 100 clean room or the Antarctic or similar special spaces.
What are the structures inside the moss capsule called?
spores
What features of bacteria make them more virulent?
For a microbe to be virulent, it must be able to establish itself into the host, avoid and escape the host defenses. Capsules- can protect the bacteria from phagocytosis M-protein and slime layers ( aid in attachment and resistance to host defenses) Fimbriae (aid in attachment) Enzymes ( leukocidins, hemolysins,coagulase, kinases,hyaluronidase, collagenase) can increase its virulence Happy studying.

Moss spores form inside capsules that break open and shoot spores into the environment which does no help carry these spores to new areas?
rhizoids
Do mosses have flowers?
Mosses do not have flowers; instead they bear capsules to produce spores.
Ferns that have groups of sporangia called?
Fern spores are produced in structures called

Where are spores?
Spores are produced by fungi, bacteria, and green plants. Spores in mushrooms are produced on special cells called basidia.

Is Mycobacterium Smegmatis a spore former?
M.smegmatis is strictly a non-spore former. It neither forms spores nor capsules.

Special spores produced in tiny cups are called?
gemmea
What is so special about moss?
that they're short, nonvascular, and produce spores
Are there spores in the air most of the time?
