Why does exposure to UV radiation cause death in vegetative cells but not endospores?
Both Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp. reproduce asexually with conidia. How can you tell these
organisms apart with a microscope? How about without a microscope?
Which of the following is NOT true about endospores?
O 1) Spores are resistant to heat, radiation, cold, and dessication.
O 2) One endospore germinates into one vegetative cell.
O
3) They are a method of reproduction for bacterial cells when growth conditions
are inhospitable.
O 4) Endospores are clinically significant in causing disease.
O 5) The endospore has a thick spore coat that protects it.

- The death of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores is routinely used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization procedures. In this procedure, endospores are exposed to the sterilization process (e.g., autoclaving) and then plated on germination medium. If sterilization has been successful, no growth occurs. This requires about 2 days. Yung and Ponce have developed a new approach that yields results within 15 minutes after sterilization. Their technique is based on the release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) from the spore coat by germinating cells. DPA release is monitored microscopically after endospores are placed in media containing alanine and terbium ion (Tb31). Alanine triggers germination and Tb31 binds DPA, which then fluoresces green when illuminated with UV light. Design an experiment in which this new method could be shown to be as reliable as the culturebased approach. What other sterilization procedures besides autoclaving could this technique be used to monitor?arrow_forwardExplain why a jar of jelly can be left open on the kitchen counter for prolonged periods of time, yet no mold or bacteria will grow on it?arrow_forwardConsidering what you know about molds and yeasts, why do you think that we do not use the same nutrient agar used for bacteria to grow yeasts and moldsarrow_forward
