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. Endospores are formed by a few genera of bacteria, such as Bacillus.
The standard endospore stain is a vigorous staining procedure using Malachite (mÄl' - - kÄ«t') Green as the main stain and Safranin as a counter stain (other counter stains may be used but we will ignore them for simplicity).s Malachite Green is a water soluble stain, it washes out of vegetative cells, but not out of the endospores. Safranin is then applied, which stains the vegetative cells redish (it is unable to get into the endospores). If the species produces endospores, one will likely see roundish green endospores and redish rods.
