Typically, they are referred to as ballistospores.
No, sporulation produces more offspring.
When bonds form during cell processes, energy is released.
When a bacterium detects environmental conditions are becoming unfavourable it may start the process of endosporulation, which takes about eight hours. The DNA is replicated and a membrane wall known as a spore septum begins to form between it and the rest of the cell. The plasma membrane of the cell surrounds this wall and pinches off to leave a double membrane around the DNA, and the developing structure is now known as a forespore. Calcium dipicolinate is incorporated into the forespore during this time. Next the peptidoglycan cortex forms between the two layers and the bacterium adds a spore coat to the outside of the forespore. Sporulation is now complete, and the mature endospore will be released when the surrounding vegetative cell is degraded.
In bacteria, sporulation is the process of endospore formation which takes place inside Gram positive bacteria.
The simple answer: the mother cell does not survive, i.e. no net increase in the population is attained. In bacterial reproduction, two daughter cells are produced, in sporulation, only one spore is made.
To increase spore count in the biomass of Bacillus subtilis, you can optimize growth conditions by providing a nutrient-rich medium that supports sporulation, such as a high concentration of carbon and nitrogen sources. Additionally, inducing stress conditions, such as nutrient limitation or high cell density, can trigger the sporulation pathway. Controlling environmental factors like temperature, pH, and aeration can further enhance sporulation efficiency. Finally, extending the incubation time to allow for complete sporulation is crucial for maximizing spore yield.

Yeast cells undergo sporulation in response to unfavorable environmental conditions like nutrient depletion. Sporulation allows the yeast cell to enter a dormant state and form spores that are more resistant to stress, enabling them to survive harsh conditions. Conversely, budding is a form of asexual reproduction where yeast cells divide to create genetically identical daughter cells, which is advantageous in stable and nutrient-rich environments.
