Bacterial Endospores: Structure, Function, and Staining Techniques

Explore the structure, function, and location of bacterial endospores. Learn about simple and differential staining methods to distinguish endospores from vegetative cells. Contrasting endospore vs. spore stains like MG with heat, decolorization with H2O, and counterstaining with Safranin yield definitive results—endospores appear green, while vegetative cells are pink.
