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.
