No, Mycobacterium smegmatis does not form endospores. Endospores are typically formed by some bacterial species in response to harsh environmental conditions as a survival mechanism, but Mycobacterium species, including M. smegmatis, do not produce endospores.
Mycobacterium lepromatosis was discovered by scientists in 2008 through genetic analysis of samples from patients with leprosy-like symptoms. It is a species closely related to Mycobacterium leprae, which causes leprosy.
Mycobacterium smegmatis is a nonpigmented bacterium, meaning that it does not produce any distinctive color on its own. It appears as colorless or pale under the microscope.
Mycobacterium smegmatis is a non pathogenic organism so it is used in labs to study about Mycobacterium tuberculosis .
