I recently received the following question on cat health from a visitor to my website: My cat has a slight watery discharge from her right eye and it sometimes âcatchesâ dirt as it slides down her nose. I was just wondering if she has an upper respiratory infection and if so, what can I do â¦
The endospore stain is a differential stain used to visualize bacterial endospores. Endospores are formed by a few genera of bacteria, such as Bacillus.By forming spores, bacteria can survive in hostile conditions. Spores are resistant to heat, dessication, chemicals, and radiation.he endospore stain is a differential stain used to visualize bacterial endospores.

Because of their tough protein coats made of keratin, spores are highly resistant to normal staining procedures. The primary stain in the endospore stain procedure, malachite green, is driven into the cells with heat.pores are resistant to heat, dessication, chemicals, and radiation. Bacteria can form endospores in approximately 6 to 8 hours after being exposed to adverse conditions. The normally-growing cell that forms the endospore is called a vegetative cell. Spores are metabolically inactive and dehydrated.
