Bacillus Anthracis Deficient in Its Ability to Differentiate Would Not

Question

Bacillus anthracis deficient in its ability to differentiate would not be able to
A) chemotax towards growth substrates.
B) create vesicles.
C) form endospores.
D) grow without additional supplemented nutrients.

Accepted Answer

Endospore formation is a key characteristic of Bacillus anthracis, and a deficiency in this ability would likely hinder its survival and persistence in the environment. However, lack of differentiation may not necessarily affect the other listed functions (chemotaxis, vesicle formation, and nutrient requirements) as they are not directly related to differentiation or sporulation.
