View solution

Q. Statement 1: The physical environment in which a spore is grown has minimal affect on its heat resistance.
Statement 2: Freezing weakens spores.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: Spores heated in soil directly are more heat resistant than ones which are mixed with sterile soils and then heated.
