Spores are the dormant state of bacterial cell in this state they develop a protecting covering around the cell and all the cell organellis except nucleus and other esstional organallis for living get dissappear.
The protective covering helps in enduring from harsh environment condition as low water aviability or high temp. etc.
spores are also known as endospores. Endospores are produced by Gram-positive bacteria from the Firmicute phylum that forms when a bacterium produces a thick internal wall that encloses its DNA and part of its cytoplasm. Examples include, but are not limited to, Bacillus and Clostridium.
The bacteria must feel threatened by it's environment. This usually means the nutrient supply the bacteria is using (food, minerals, oxygen, etc.) is dwindling. This is shown by an endospore plate, which is used in labs to trick bacteria into thinking they are starving by flooding their environment with manganese.
gram positive and gram negitive
bacillus and clostridium
Sporulation or Endosporulation
Clostridium and Bacillus!
some of them do, but not all
I believe that you are referring to a bacterial endospore. Only a small number of bacteria can produce these (Gram-positive Firmicutes). Endospores are very tough and allow the bacteria that can produce them to survive high temperatures, pressures, drought, etc.
No, Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram positive facultative anaerobe. It has a cell wall surrounding a peptidoglycan layer, however does not produce an endospore like many other gram positive bacteria. Staphylococcus Aureus is a cocci shaped bacteria with pyogenic properties.
Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods
it's a small asexual spore that is formed by some bacteria and contains a copy of chromosome.

When growing conditions are not right, many bacteria form
In bacteria, sporulation is the process of endospore formation which takes place inside Gram positive bacteria.
