Is cocci assotiated with endospores?

No, cocci bacteria are typically not associated with endospores. Endospores are a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria like Bacillus and Clostridium, which are rod-shaped bacteria. Cocci bacteria are spherical in shape and do not produce endospores.
