Help the Stat Consulting Group by giving a gift. Cronbach's alpha is a measure of internal consistency, that is, how closely related a set of items are as a group. It is considered to be a measure of scale reliability. A high value for alpha does not imply that the measure is unidimensional.elp the Stat Consulting Group by giving a gift.

An endospore is an extremely resistant dormant cell structure produced by some bacterial species. If you break down the term endospore, 'endo-' means 'inside' and '-spore' refers to the 'dormant structure,' so the endospore is a structured formed inside the cell.
Endospores are dormant, non-reproductive and enzymatically inert forms of bacterial vegetative cells [1] . Endospore-producing bacteria are more conventionally termed âsporulating bacteriaâ.Sporulating bacteria are derived from the [1] Firmicute phylum and mainly consist of [2] Gram positive bacteria [7] .These endospore-forming bacteria belong to the [3] Bacillus and Clostridium genus [2] .An endospore is a reduced form of a bacterium. It is comprised of a core containing only the bare essentials necessary for the initiation of bacterial growth.ndospores are dormant, non-reproductive and enzymatically inert forms of bacterial vegetative cells [1] .
