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. Endospores are formed by a few genera of bacteria, such as Bacillus.
All isolates were positive for metachromatic granules and none of these showed capsule or endospore formation (Table 3). Endospore staining was carried out by heating the air dried bacterial smear with malachite green for 5 min, followed by rinsing with water and counterstaining with safranin for 30s.
