Calcium dipicolinate deposits in which part of endospore
Answers
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.
The calcium dipicolinate deposits inbetween the necleobases of the DNA in endospores.
EXPLANATION:
Calcium dipicolinate salt forms from the dipicolinic acid. The endospore is the non-reproductive structure and it is produced by some of the bacteria. The dipicolinic acid is responsible to stabilize the DNA and the protein in the endospore. This also protects the DNA from the damage.The two types of bacteria where the endospore can be found are aerobic Bacillus and anaerobic Clostridium.
