What does a endospore to to a bacterium?

An endospore is a dormant, highly resistant structure formed by certain bacteria when they encounter unfavorable conditions for growth. It allows the bacterium to survive harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, desiccation, and exposure to chemicals. Once conditions improve, the endospore can germinate, giving rise to a fully functional bacterium.


What is the role of the bacterial endospore and what events would trigger its initiation?

They are fungus spores born within a cell. Endospore formation is triggered by lack of nutrients


What color are endospores after endospore stain?

After gram staining an endospore the color it would show up would be colorless or clear. It will not work for endospores because of its tough outer layer, stains can't penetrate.


What would happen if you placed a bacillus in a hot and dry environment?

Bacillus would form an endospore .


How would an endospore stain of e coli appear?

Negative cocci red


Why would endospores not be present in a 12 hour batch culture but would be present in 14 day batch culture?

Endospores only form under unfavorable conditions that threaten the survival of the bacteria (and only some bacteria are capable of producing endospores). Also, the process of endospore formation requires 8-10 hours. Assumably, the 12 hour culture would still have an abundant supply of nutrients and therefore would not require the production of endospores to survive; the 14 day culture would have a much higher number of organisms which had been using up the supply of nutrients, therefore creating unfavorable conditions and requiring the formation of endospores for survival.


What is an antonym for endospore?

Well, since an endospore is "inside", I would vote for an exospore, meaning "outside".Endospore means a small asexual spore that develops inside the cell of some bacteria and algae. Since this formation is inside the cell then, so I would say that Outside, outer, exit should be the words related to it.I am also preparing for GRE and I have been taking verbal ability practice tests and live review classes on examville, my scores are already improving.


What are the conditions necessary for rusting?

The conditions necessary for rusting are water (or water vapour) and air, specifically Oxygen. If one condition is absent and the other is present then rusting would not occur but if both are present then rusting will occur


What types of symptoms can a marine animal casualty present?

That would depend on the cause of the casualty. Impact with a boat would probably present prop lacerations. Interaction with a fisherman would be indicated by hook marks are harpoon stabs.

How is it possible that bacteria can begin to grow after 30 million years in a fossilized insects stomach?

the endospore would protect the bacteria and can last the temperature


How would an endospore stain of mycobacterium appear?

Acid fast Mycobacterium have a waxy molecule in their cell wall that will take up and retain the malachite green stain when subjected to the endospore staining process. The uniformly green appearance of endospore stained acid fast cells doesn't mean they produce endospores. These are vegetative cells that have taken up color from the heat driving malachite green into their waxy cell wall.
