Sporulation of Bacillus anthracis, the Causative Organism of Anthrax

| Description |
The causative organism of anthrax, Bacillus anthracis, is a sporulating bacterium. Initially, the fore spores appear as dark areas within the mother cells after a special division of the cytoplasm. These differentiate into mature, light-refractile spores within 5 to 6 hours. Only a few bacterial groups like the bacilli and clostridia form such heat resistant endospores. The mother cells then lyse and release the spores, completing the process of differentiation.
