Sporulation is the developmental process by which a fungal cell, amoeba, bacteria or protozoan becomes a spore. It is sometimes taken to include release of spores into the environment. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... This article is about a biological reproductive structure; for the video game, see Spore (video game). ... Morphogenesis is also the name of a band. ... Divisions Chytridiomycota Zygomycota Glomeromycota Ascomycota Basidiomycota Deuteromycota Fungi (singular fungus) are a kingdom of eukaryotic organisms. ... Amoeba, amœba, or ameba is a genus of protozoa that moves by means of temporary projections called pseudopods, and is well-known as a representative unicellular organism. ...

Protozoa (in Greek protos = first and zoon = animal) are single-celled creatures with nuclei that show some characteristics usually associated with animals, most notably mobility and heterotrophy. ...

Sporulation can be triggered by adverse conditions, or as part of asexual reproduction. For other uses, see Reproduction (disambiguation) Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms are produced. ...

The bacterium Bacillus subtilis and the fungus Neurospora crassa (red bread mold) are commonly used as laboratory organisms to study sporulation.

The process of sporulation of bacteria is as follows: 1.) Spore septum begins to isolate newly replicated DNA and a small portion of cytoplasm; 2.) Plasma membrane starts to surround DNA, cytoplasm, and membrane isolated in step 1; 3.) Spore septum surrounds isolated portion, forming forespore; 4.) Peptidoglycan layer forms between membranes; 5.) Spore coat forms; 6.) Endospore is freed from cell.
