calcium dipicolinate deposit in which part of the endospore?
Answers
The calcium-dipicolinic acid complex also functions to protect DNA from heat denaturation by inserting itself between the nucleobases, thereby increasing the stability of DNA. Two genera of bacterial pathogens are known to produce endospores: the aerobic Bacillus and anaerobic Clostridium
Answer:It deposits in between nucleobases of DNA
Explanation:
Calcium dipicolinate is the calcium salt of the dipicolinic acid. It is applied on the forespore during the time being. The dipicolic acid helps in stabilising the protein and the DNA in the endospores and the peptidoglycan cortex forms between the two layers and the bacterium adds a spore coat to the outside of the forespore. An endospores is a dormant tough and non-reproductive structure which is produced by some bacteria.
