Examples of spore

• It is interesting that the simple contact with a surface signalled the spore to germinate.

• The spore suspensions were tested for viability prior to and during the 7-day experimental period.

• In the case of a dormant spore or seed, the loaded molecules could remain protective indefinitely, until germination.

• We constructed a simple mathematical model that formalizes potential antagonism (or synergism) between the parasite spores during infection.

• Suspensions of lower spore concentrations were prepared by threefold dilutions.

• Elements of the local mire vegetation, fern spores and other palynomorphs were not included in the pollen sum.

• The persistence times of living cells, metabolically dormant spores and organic molecule biomarkers at different depths can then be calculated.

• This gave rise to a suspension of 6 million spores per 20 ml.
