How do spores survive unfavourable conditions?

Fungi survive in unfavorable conditions by parasitism.Parasitism means an ability of an animal to obtain nutrients from other animals by using them as hosts. Also Fungi have the ability to survive in climatic extremes and in long periods of drought, because they have been specially designed to be resilient.

Difference between endospores and vegetative cell?

Endospores are thick-coated, resistant cells produced within a bacterial cell that has been exposed to harsh conditions. Endospores are inert and can endure extreme conditions like radiation, heat and cold, absence of nutrients and water. When conditions are good, they produce vegetative cells and thrive. When condition turn unfavorable, endospores are produced again and they remain inert. Vegetative cells are any cells of plants or animals that do not participate in reproduction. These are vulnerable to external changes and react easily. They cannot thrive in unfavorable conditions.

Why would endospores not be present in a 12 hour batch culture but would be present in 14 day batch culture?

Endospores only form under unfavorable conditions that threaten the survival of the bacteria (and only some bacteria are capable of producing endospores). Also, the process of endospore formation requires 8-10 hours. Assumably, the 12 hour culture would still have an abundant supply of nutrients and therefore would not require the production of endospores to survive; the 14 day culture would have a much higher number of organisms which had been using up the supply of nutrients, therefore creating unfavorable conditions and requiring the formation of endospores for survival.
