Answer:

Endospores may be defined as the tough, dormant and the non reproductive structures formed by bacteria and they are not true spores. This is a dormant phase occurs in unfavorable environmental condition.

The endospore formulation starts when bacteria detect the unfavorable conditions. This process takes 8 hours to complete. The spore sptum forms between the cells rests. The plasma membrane pinches off and leaves the double membrane around DNA and forms forespore. The peptidoglycan forms around the forespore, then endospore formed is dehydrated and allow to mature before they are released from the mother cell.

Two different bacterial samples, a and b, were inoculated onto sim media. What can you conclude based on your observations?

Svetlanka [38]

The conclusion that can be made here is that:

A is motile

Specimen A gave indole
Specimen B does not hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
Specimen B does not have indole

<h3>What is a sim media inoculation?</h3>

This is a type of laboratory practical that isb used to see if organisms are motile through the use of single stabs.

An organism is motile when there is a radiation from the stab mark which makes the tube it is in to turn turbid.
