| Thus, it is possible that other organisms, particularly the hardy endospore formers including Bacillus spp. |
| All isolates were positive for metachromatic granules and none of these showed capsule or endospore formation. |
| The endospore and DPA kinetics for B. thuringiensis var. |
| Therefore, the endospore formation is related with the vegetative growth and the endospore-Cry formation is related with the transition phase. |
| When the spore is coloured, the external membrane alone appears to possess colour, the endospore being constantly hyaline. |
| Mature spores have a dense exospore coat, a pale endospore, and single rows of 8-11 polar tubule coils. |
