Mold spores are microscopic reproductive structures that float in the air and require moisture to germinate and grow into new mold. They can be found both indoors and outdoors, and efforts must be made to prevent mold growth indoors due to health concerns and damage to surfaces. Mold spores can cause health problems, and when […]
Bacterial spores are tough copies of genetic material that allow organisms to enter a dormant state when exposed to harsh environments. Some well-known pathogens such as anthrax, tetanus, and botulism can form spores, making them a topic of concern for medical researchers. Spore research examines how they form and how they can be dealt with […]
Spores are asexual reproductive units used by plants, algae, fungi, and protozoa. They evolved at least 1,600 million years ago and are most commonly used by r-selected species. Spores do not need to combine with anything to grow into an adult organism. They are usually unicellular and can increase in mass and volume by a […]
