  2. Endospore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endospore

    An endospore stain of the cell Bacillus subtilis showing endospores as green and the vegetative cell as red Phase-bright endospores of Paenibacillus alvei imaged with phase-contrast microscopy. An endospore is a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by some bacteria in the phylum Bacillota.

  3. Endospore staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endospore_staining

    Endospore staining is a technique used in bacteriology to identify the presence of endospores in a bacterial sample. [1] Within bacteria, endospores are protective structures used to survive extreme conditions, including high temperatures making them highly resistant to chemicals. [ 2 ]

  4. Bacillus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus

    Bacillus species are rod-shaped, endospore-forming aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive bacteria; in some species cultures may turn Gram-negative with age. The many species of the genus exhibit a wide range of physiologic abilities that allow them to live in every natural environment.

  5. Bacillus subtilis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_subtilis

    As with other members of the genus Bacillus, it can form an endospore, to survive extreme environmental conditions of temperature and desiccation. [12] B. subtilis is a facultative anaerobe [6] [13] and had been considered as an obligate aerobe until 1998. B. subtilis is heavily flagellated, which gives it the ability to move quickly in liquids.

  6. Bacillus cereus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_cereus

    Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in soil, food, and marine sponges. [1] The specific name, ... Bacillus cereus endospore stain.

  7. Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis - Wikipedia

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

    Fig1. The sporulation process of Bacillus subtilis. Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacteria that is naturally found in soil and vegetation, and is known for its ability to form a small, tough, protective and metabolically dormant endospore.

  8. Bacillus anthracis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_anthracis

    Bacillus anthracis is a gram-positive and rod-shaped bacterium that causes anthrax, a deadly disease to livestock and, occasionally, to humans. It is the only permanent ( obligate ) pathogen within the genus Bacillus .

  9. 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]
