A spore is formed by bacteria when the environment around it starts to become less favorable for growth (eg. depletion in nutrients, increase in temperatures, drop in moisture of the environment, etc). these spores lay dormant until the conditions become favorable again. When the environment changes to more favorable conditions the bacteria will develop and begin a new colony following the bacterial cycle

Nonspore producing bacteria are called?

Nonspore producing bacteria are called non-spore formers. Spore formers are bacteria that have the ability to form endospores for survival in adverse conditions, while non-spore formers lack this ability. Examples of non-spore formers include Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp.

How could the isolation of spore forming bacteria from a soil sample be facilitated?

The isolation of spore-forming bacteria from a soil sample can be facilitated by using heat shock treatment or steam sterilization to eliminate non-spore-forming bacteria. Additionally, selective media such as nutrient agar or tryptic soy agar can be used to promote the growth of spore-forming bacteria while inhibiting the growth of other organisms. Finally, the use of microscopy and staining techniques can help identify spore-forming bacteria based on their characteristic morphology.
