Bacillus anthracis / endospores

Explanation:

Anthrax is an infectious bacteria disease that is caused by gram positive, spore forming bacteria called Bacillus Anthrax. It occur naturally in soil and it affects domestics and wild animals. It is transmitted to humans when they feed on infected animals.

Anthrax have endospores which is resistance to heat and the endospores can be destroyed if it is autoclave at temperature higher than the boiling point.

The anthrax endospores is resistance to heat because they have small acid double protein that fill the endospores DNA which in turn protect it from heat, chemical damage and also drying.

a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
