What is a comparison of the heat sensitivity of fungal spores to that of bacterial endospores?

Answer 1

Fungal endspores are those that reproduce while the bacterial endospores are those that do not reproduce, and these endospoes of the fungi reproduces both sexually and asexually. Sexual where one cell divides in the process of mitosis and asexual where two parent cells unit and then mitotic process takes place. By keroline kolapen, Divine Word University.ac.pg

Answer 2

Fungal spores are more sensitive to heat than bacterial endospores. Fungal spores can be killed at 60 C. The endospores of Bacillus can stand 100 C. It takes 121 C in the autoclave to sterilize things.

Answer 3

These is nothing similar, first of all bacteria do not produce spores. Bacteria can be transferred from one human to another (syphillis), through the air, and by food (food poisoning). Bacterial cell divides equally into two, following a replication of its DNA. The cell wall and cytoplasm of the bacteria also splits to produce the two cells. Bacteria are able to reproduce (by binary fission ) every 20 min. Bacteria are all unicellular.

On the other hand fungi produce spores. Fungi grow in damp places such as leather, dung, bread etc. Fungi can be both microscopic unicellular (yeast) or multicellular (mushrooms). Fungi bud off ad create spores, unlike bacteria which divide from cell into two.

Bottom line; bacteria and fungi are 2 totally different organisms that live all around us, on our skin, in our intestines, in alcohol, and the food we eat. Some are harmful some are not.

Answer 4

Fungal spores are generally more sensitive to heat compared to bacterial endospores. Bacterial endospores are known for their high heat resistance, with some species able to survive extreme temperatures (e.g., boiling water) that fungal spores cannot withstand. Fungal spores are usually killed at lower temperatures, making them more heat-sensitive than bacterial endospores.
