3. A mixed culture of Bacillus megaterium and Escherichia coli is fixed, and endospore staining is performed. Using colored pencils, draw multiple cells (at least 10) of each bacterial species, as they appear in the vision field under the light microscope at the end of a successful endospore staining. • Both cell types are rod-shaped (bacilli). • B. megaterium cells are 5 um long, and E. coli cells are 2 µm long. • Keep in mind that not all bacterial species form endospores. • Label your drawings (name each cell type + name various spore types) • Mark total magnification used. • • Pay attention to cell size! The vision field is 0.04 mm in diameter. Draw at least two (2) vegetative cells with internal endospores: o one is subterminal o one is central • Draw at least two (2) free endospores (they have already been released from the vegetative cell) 1
