Spores are typically formed when an organism is enduring stressful conditions. If you wait until the culture is old then it is likely that some of the organisms will be experiencing stressful conditions such as lack of nutrients. It helps if you remember why the organism forms spores at all! The organism is protecting itself against harsh conditions, the spore will not germinate until conditions favour growth.

How does culture age affect results of a spore stain?

The age of the culture used for a spore stain can impact the results by affecting the viability and sporulation of the organism. A young culture with actively growing cells is more likely to produce good spore stain results, while an older culture with decreased viability and sporulation may lead to unreliable staining outcomes. It is generally recommended to use a fresh culture for spore staining to obtain accurate and reliable results.
