Q10) What genera produce endospores?
- What culture would have more endospores? A bacterium in broth culture for 24 hour or 72 hours?
- How specifically does a flagella stain let us see the flagella? (they’re too thin to be seen with 1000X magnification)
Sippose your unknown bacteria is a Gram-negative rod. You decide to perform an endospore stain, thinking it will help you with the identification of the organism. What will you see and why?
