Endospore formation involves isolating DNA and cytoplasm, surrounding it with membranes, forming a peptidoglycan layer and spore coat, and finally freeing the endospore.
La formación de endosporas implica aislar ADN y citoplasma, rodearlo con membranas, formar una capa de peptidoglicano y una capa de esporas, y finalmente liberar la endospora.
| Front | Explain endospore formation |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Spore septum begins to isolate newly replicated DNA and a small portion of cytoplasm 2. Plasma membrane starts to surround DNA, cytoplasm, and membrane isolated in step 1 3. Spore septum surrounds isolated portion, forming forespore 4. Peptidoglycan layer forms b/w membrane 5. Spore coat forms 6. Endospore is freed from cell |
