They form an endospore. An endospore is a thick cell wall that helps protect them.
Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods of time when the environment is unfavorable (such as extreme temperatures, radiation, extreme pH levels, extreme pressures and harmful chemical agents). Then, when the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state.

Bacterial structures which could survive unfavorable conditions are called?
endospores
Is Lactobacillus acidophilus aerobic or anerobic?
Most friendly bacteria (probiotics, those in fermented foods) are aerobic, meaning they survive in oxygen-rich environments, while most unfriendly bacteria, yeasts such as candida albicans, molds, etc are anaerobic and cannot survive in aerobic conditions. I found this out when researching the santitizing effects of hydrogen peroxide on sprouting and fermenting, and making rejuvelac and homemade probiotics. It will only harm the bad guys, and leave the good guys alone! Good news. Great health is simple, cheap, and easy. Enjoy!

When cold temperature prohibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria?
There are a number of bacteria that DO survive in harsh environments be it pH or temperature extremes or an environment that is very salty. Bacteria that don't survive in harsh conditions usually lose cell wall integrity and break apart, or lose all their intercellular fluid and shrivel up.
