It allows the bacteria to create a resistant and dormant cell that can preserve the original cells genetic material when put under extremely unfavourable conditions
With the help of endospores, or thick-walled structures that help the bacteria survive harsh conditions.
Bacteria
Yes, these can survive but it is difficult for mesophytes to survive in xerophytic conditions.
they do survive when the environment is wet
they survive in harsh conditions

Bacteria
Bacteria can form capsules and spores. A capsule is a protective layer around some bacteria. They can be virulent as they can resist the body's defence mechanism. Bacteria can change into bacterial spores when the environmental conditions are unfavourable. In this condition bacteria are inactive. When the environmental conditions become more suitable the bacteria can become active and cause disease. Bacterial spores are extremely resistant and can survive most forms of disinfection and inadequate sterilisation
Africa
When environmental conditions change it is more likely that at least some members of a species will survive if there is variation among the members.
Helicobacter Pylori
Yes, these can survive but it is difficult for mesophytes to survive in xerophytic conditions.

hibernation
Extinction is most likely to be caused by environmental conditions. Dramatic changes to the climate can mean that species are no longer adapted to survive.
