Differential Staining of Bacteria: Endospore Stain [PDF]
Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2009 AbstractEndospore production is a very important characteristic of some bacteria, allowing them to resist adverse environmental conditions such as desiccation, chemical exposure, extreme heat, radiation, etc. The identification of endospores is also very important for the clinical microbiologist who is analyzing a patient's body fluid or tissue—there ...

Clostridial endospore attachment
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1994Bacteria from the genus Clostridia, are responsible for such diseases as gas gangrene, wound infections, botulism, tetanus, pseudomembranous colitis, septicemia and nosocomial diarrhea. These anaerobic spores pose a special threat to man because they are ubiquitous, very difficult to kill, and tenaceously grow when conditions are right.

Bacterial endospores and their significance in stress resistance
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2002In terms of resistance to extreme environmental stresses, the bacterial spore represents a pinnacle of evolution. Spores are highly resistant to a wide variety of physical stresses such as: wet and dry heat, UV and gamma radiation, oxidizing agents, chemicals, and extremes of both vacuum and ultrahigh hydrostatic pressure.

The Longevity of Thermoactinomycete Endospores in Natural Substrates
Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1977Occupational debris from beneath the Roman fort Vindolanda, and lake sediments cored from Seamere in East Anglia were examined for the presence of viable Thermoactinomyces endospores. Up to 104 viable endospores/g dry wt were recovered from the occupational debris at Vindolanda deposited between 1850 to 1890 years ago.

Evaluating plant performance with endospores
Journal AWWA, 1996Monitoring for indigenous spores of aerobic spore‐forming bacteria proves a viable method of assessing treatment plant performance.Spores of aerobic spore‐forming bacteria were used as microbial surrogates for evaluating drinking water treatment plant performance. A method for assaying for the microbial surrogate was developed.

Dynamic staining of Bacillus endospores with Thioflavin T
2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012Rapid detection and identification of endospores presents a range of complex challenges. Dynamic staining approach, developed in our lab, utilizes the time-course fluorescence enhancement of an amyloid-staining dye, Thioflavin T (ThT), after mixing with intact endospores.

Raman spectroscopic study of bacterial endospores
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2007Endospores and endospore-forming bacteria were studied by Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectra were recorded from Bacillus licheniformis LMG 7634 at different steps during growth and spore formation, and from spore suspensions obtained from diverse Bacillus and Paenibacillus strains cultured in different conditions (growth media, temperature, peroxide ...

Roles of Bacillus endospores in the environment
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences CMLS, 2002The occurrence and diverse roles of Bacillus spp. and their endospores in the environment is reviewed, with particular emphasis on soil ecology, host-symbiont and host-parasite interactions, and human exploitation of spores as biological control agents and probiotics.
