Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thick-walled structures formed by bacteria under nutrient-poor conditions that contain the chromosome and a small amount of cytoplasm are called endospores. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that can replicate independently of the chromosome. Pseudomonads are a group of Gram-negative bacteria. Nucleoids are regions within bacterial cells where the chromosome is located. Exospores are not a commonly recognized term in microbiology.
