Spores are typically formed when an organism is enduring stressful conditions. If you wait until the culture is old then it is likely that some of the organisms will be experiencing stressful conditions such as lack of nutrients. It helps if you remember why the organism forms spores at all! The organism is protecting itself against harsh conditions, the spore will not germinate until conditions favour growth.
With the help of endospores, or thick-walled structures that help the bacteria survive harsh conditions.
They adapt to where they live.
to protect the horse from harsh weather conditions
there is one plant that survives in the very harsh deserts that is cactus.

what were the harsh conditions on the great plains once called
Some sheeps like in mountains in harsh conditions in freezing cold
Harsh conditions are conditions that humans would have a hard time living in or not be able to live in.
What can protect bacteria from harsh conditions for even millions of years?
During good conditions, organisms can reproduce sexually and benefit from the genetic diversity that this creates. During harsh conditions, asexual reproduction can take place without having a partner and results in offspring that are identical to the parent. This means that if the parent can survive the harsh conditions, then the offspring are more likely to as well.
Asexual reproduction is perfect for an organism that lives in harsh conditions. The organism is able to produce offspring without worry of finding another organism who is of the opposite sex. Also, this ensures that the genetic information that allows the current organism to live in these harsh conditions is transferred to its offspring.
