a bacterial cell will form (essentially morph into) an endospore when its environment changes. If the cell has adapted to survive in warm, moist conditions with an abundance of proteins and then if these conditions the bacterial cell has adapted to are changed, conditions aren't warm or moist then as a survival mechanism it will essentially morph into an endospore. Then when conditions change back to the cells original ideal conditions, tiny chemoreceptors on the endospore will activate genes in the cell to morph back into its normal form.

Does e.coli contain a endospore?
E. coli is a motile, non-spore-forming, Gram negative bacillus.
Type of spore that can remain dormant until favorable conditions for growth arise?
A type of spore that can remain dominant until favorable conditions for growth arise is called an endospore. It refers to an asexual spore that develops inside some bacterial cells.
Why discovery of endospore was important in microbilogy?
the discovery of endospore allow the scientist to set a best temperature for stelization, and it have alerted them in the synthesis of different medicine, to what kind of medicine can pernatrate the endospore of a specific microorganism
What is the Dorner endospore stain?

Why is it important to determaine the location of the endospore?
Bcause the position of the endospore differs among bacterial species and is useful in identification.
When endospore form?
Endospores form during a period called binary fission.
What do bacteria form in order to remain dormant for years?
An endospore
What can Bacteria form to survive when envioromental conditions are severe?
When growing conditions are not right, many bacteria form
When a cell produce an endospores has that cell reproduced explain?
Endospore formation has not been considered as a mode of reproduction. During adverse conditions, vegetative cells form endospore, which on the availability of favourable conditions will absorb water and germinate to form the vegetative cells again. Endosopres are thick walled structures. Under unfavourable conditions the endospore are non porous and resistant to high salt and acidic conditions which the normal vegetative cells are sensitive to. Often the vegetative cell loses the major part of its cytoplasm to form an endospore. Thus the endospore consists of only the genetic material surrounded by minimum quantity of cytoplasm.
What would happen if you placed a bacillus in a hot and dry environment?
Bacillus would form an endospore .
Does e.coli contain a endospore?
E. coli is a motile, non-spore-forming, Gram negative bacillus.
What are formers?
Spore formers are a group of bacteria which form an endospore. When certain bacteria are stressed, sub-lethally injured, or placed in danger in any way it will form what is know as an endospore. The endospore contains all of the necessary genetic information necessary to regenerate a new vegetative bacterial cell if the bacterium is killed or lethally injured. Endospores will not germinate into vegetative cells unless the original bacterium is killed and the threat has subsided.

How do bacteria survive harsh conditions?
They form an endospore. An endospore is a thick cell wall that helps protect them. Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods of time when the environment is unfavorable (such as extreme temperatures, radiation, extreme pH levels, extreme pressures and harmful chemical agents). Then, when the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state.
