  2. Endospore staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endospore_staining

    Endospore stain on Bacillus subtilis.The spore is stained green and the vegetative cell is stained a pinkish red color. Endospore staining is a technique used in bacteriology to identify the presence of endospores in a bacterial sample. [1]

  3. Endospore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endospore

    Endospores are resistant to most agents that would normally kill the vegetative cells they formed from. Unlike persister cells , endospores are the result of a morphological differentiation process triggered by nutrient limitation (starvation) in the environment; endosporulation is initiated by quorum sensing within the "starving" population.

  4. Schaeffer–Fulton stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schaeffer–Fulton_stain

    A stained preparation of Bacillus subtilis showing endospores as green and the vegetative cell as red. The Schaeffer–Fulton stain is a technique designed to isolate endospores by staining any present endospores green, and any other bacterial bodies red. [1]

  5. Staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staining

    Detects the presence of endospores in six genera of bacteria Endospores: Green Vegetative cells: Red 6 Capsule A: Hiss method (Positive technique) B: Manevals's technique (Negative) Smear stained with Hiss stain following treatment with copper sulphate Bacterial suspension smeared along with Congo red and the Maneval's stain is applied

  6. Bacillus subtilis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_subtilis

    B. subtilis cells are typically rod-shaped, and are about 4–10 micrometers (μm) long and 0.25–1.0 μm in diameter, with a cell volume of about 4.6 fL at stationary phase. [6] [11] As with other members of the genus Bacillus, it can form an endospore, to survive extreme environmental conditions of temperature and desiccation. [12]

  7. Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporulation_in_Bacillus...

    B. subtilis can divide symmetrically to make two daughter cells (binary fission), or asymmetrically, producing a single endospore that is resistant to environmental factors such as heat, desiccation, radiation and chemical insult which can persist in the environment for long periods of time. The endospore is formed at times of nutritional ...

  8. Moeller stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moeller_stain

    Endospores are stained red, while the counterstain methylene blue stains the vegetative bacteria blue. Endospores are surrounded by a highly resistant spore coat, which is highly resistant to excessive heat, freezing, desiccation, as well as chemical agents. More importantly, for identification, spores are resistant to commonly employed ...

  9. Clostridium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium

    The normal, reproducing cells of Clostridium, called the vegetative form, are rod-shaped, which gives them their name, from the Greek κλωστήρ or spindle. Clostridium endospores have a distinct bowling pin or bottle shape, distinguishing them from other bacterial endospores, which are usually ovoid in shape.
