Endospores form during a period called binary fission.
When growing conditions are not right, many bacteria form
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.
Bacillus would form an endospore .
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.

Endospore formation is called sporulation. In this process, certain bacteria form a protective spore around their DNA to survive harsh conditions. The spore can remain dormant until conditions improve, allowing the bacteria to return to their active state.
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.
No, E. coli does not form endospores. Endospores are a dormant, resistant form of some bacterial species, like those in the Bacillus and Clostridium genera, which allow them to survive harsh conditions. E. coli is a gram-negative bacterium that does not have the ability to form endospores.
An Endospore.
Some bacteria respond to an unfavorable environment by forming endospore.
With the help of endospores, or thick-walled structures that help the bacteria survive harsh conditions.
Bacillus anthracis is a pathogenic endospore forming bacteria that is difficult to kill due to its ability to form spores that are resistant to heat, chemicals, and radiation. This makes it a challenge to eradicate in the environment and in infected individuals.
