Spore: Reproductive and Resilient Cell
A spore is a cell or a group of cells capable of reproduction. It can develop autonomously and asexually, meaning it can give rise to a new individual without merging with another reproductive cell.
Spores are produced by various living organisms such as:
- bacteria,
- fungi,
- certain algae.
Spores are extremely resilient cells, able to withstand harsh environmental conditions, which helps them contribute to the survival of a species. They can endure difficult environments and propagate efficiently.
However, an excess of spores in indoor air can pose risks to both air quality and health. To prevent spore proliferation and purify the air in your home, consider using an air purifier with a HEPA filter:
