Question
Chapter 4.4, Problem 12AYP
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The causes and mechanism of sporogenesis and germination.
Concept introduction
Endospores are resistant and dormant cells that can remain viable for many years. They are composed of thick walls of peptidoglycan, cytoplasm, and DNA with large quantities of calcium, dipicolinic acid, and DNA binding protein.
