Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Bacterial Spore requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Critique of Article
[edit]A bacterial spore is a structure produced by bacteria that is extremely resistant to many environmental or induced factors that the bacteria may be subjected to. [1] These spores help the bacteria to survive by being resistant to extreme changes in the bacteria's habitat including extreme temperatures, lack of moisture/drought, or being exposed to chemicals and radiation. Bacterial Spores can also survive at low nutrient levels. All of these factors make it nearly impossible to kill them and explains why they are found almost everywhere, including many of our food products. [2] Most bacterial spores are not toxic and do not cause any harm, but some bacteria that produce spores can be pathogenic. Most spore-forming bacteria are contained in the bacillus and clostridium species but can be found in other species of bacteria as well. [3]There are different types of spores including endospores , exospores , and spore-like structures called microbial cysts. Each of these aid the bacteria in survival and serve as protection for the cell. [4]
