endospore

Most types of bacteria cannot change to the endospore form.

It is implicated as responsible for the heat resistance of the endospore.

That allows the endospore to show up as red, while the rest of the cell stains blue.

In endospore formation, the bacterium divides within its cell wall.

The position of the endospore differs among bacterial species and is useful in identification.

While the rest of a bacterial cell may stain, the endospore is left colourless.

This may be triggered by heating the endospore.

Only 2 species of bacteria can undergo sporulation to form endospore.

When the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state.

These are similar to a bacterium's endospore.

It is sometimes called an endospore, because it initially develops inside the rod-shaped form.

Bacteria produce a single endospore internally.

The endospore is formed at times of nutritional stress, allowing the organism to persist in the environment until conditions become favourable.

Even if an endospore is located in plentiful nutrients, it may fail to germinate unless activation has taken place.

Germination involves the dormant endospore starting metabolic activity and thus breaking hibernation.

An endospore will actually contain all of the important parts of the bacterial cell, such as its DNA.

An endospore is a non-metabolizing survival structure that begins to metabolize and cause infection once in an adequate environment.

The location of an endospore within a cell is species-specific and can be used to determine the identity of a bacterium.

The bacterium normally rests in endospore form in the soil, and can survive for decades in this state.

The core wall lies beneath the cortex and surrounds the protoplast or core of the endospore.

Under the microscope, the Bacillus cells appear as rods, and a substantial portion usually contain an oval endospore at one end, making it bulge.

A Bacterial cell will make an endospore when it is low on food so it can survive until there is more food available in the environment.

Endospore (in firmicute bacteria)

Its protected form (endospore) provides resistance to many stressors (heat, acid, pressure, lack of nutrients.)

An endospore is a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria from the Firmicute phylum.
