Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The process of endospore formation is called sporulation. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Initiation: The bacterium detects environmental stress and initiates sporulation. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Septum formation: A septum forms, dividing the cell asymmetrically. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Engulfment: The larger compartment engulfs the smaller one, forming the forespore. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Cortex and coat synthesis: The forespore develops a thick protective cortex and spore coat. ‖ ‖ e ⋮ Maturation: The spore matures and awaits favorable conditions to germinate. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Sporulation is the process by which a bacterium forms a dormant, resistant endospore. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ This process allows the bacterium to survive in harsh conditions until the environment becomes favorable again. ⚹◊What molecular signals trigger the process of endospore formation in bacteria⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
