Endospore

I can form an 'endospore', a little coating that protects me. ❋ Emma Lurie (2007)

When I'm in my endospore I can survive very high temperatures. ❋ Emma Lurie (2007)

The true spore or endospore begins with the appearance of a minute granule in the protoplasm of a vegetative cell; this granule enlarges and in a few hours has taken to itself all the protoplasm, secreted a thin but very resistive envelope, and is a ripe ovoid spore, smaller than the mother-cell and lying loosely in it (cf.figs. 6, 9, 10, and 11). ❋ Various (N/A)

Nor must we overlook the possibility that the endospore-formation in non-motile bacteria more than merely resembles the development of azygospores in the Conjugatae, and some Ulothricaceae, if reduced in size, would resemble them. ❋ Various (N/A)

Its "capture and destroy" approach using the company's proprietary plasma technology will kill 99.999% of trapped bacteria and viruses, and 99.99% of hard to destroy bacterial endospore microorganisms. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The bacterial endospore (spore) has recently been proposed as a new surface display system. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The new technology works by looking for dipicolinic acid -- a major component of endospores and evidence of endospore growth -- by first applying terbium to a dime-sized area. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Using its internal plasma technology, the TriClean Pro will destroy 99. 999% of trapped bacteria and viruses, and 99. 99% of hard to kill bacterial endospore microorganisms. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The article mentions that the bacteria which didn't protect themselves with the endospore stage died within minutes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

a double wall, a thin delicate wall of unaltered cellulose, the endospore or intine, and a tough outer cuticularized exospore or extine. ❋ Various (N/A)
