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 else can I help you with?
Where may one find endospores within a bacterial cell?
stored within bacteria endospores ++
Does an endospore release toxins?
Endospores themselves do not release toxins. Endospores are dormant, resistant structures produced by some bacteria to survive harsh conditions. However, when the endospore germinates and the vegetative cell grows and replicates, it can produce toxins.
What would not be found in the cytoplasm of a bacterial cell A endospores B ribosomal RNA C nucleoid D porins?
endospores
How many chromosomes are in an asexually reproduced cell?
In asexually reproduced cells, such as those created through binary fission in bacteria or mitosis in eukaryotic cells, the number of chromosomes remains the same as the parent cell.
Is bacillus megaterium a spore or a vegetative cell?
Bacillus megaterium is a spore-forming bacterium. It produces endospores as a survival mechanism in response to harsh environmental conditions.
Can pseudomonas aeruginosa produce endospores?
No, Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram positive facultative anaerobe. It has a cell wall surrounding a peptidoglycan layer, however does not produce an endospore like many other gram positive bacteria. Staphylococcus Aureus is a cocci shaped bacteria with pyogenic properties.
Where are endospores located within vegetative cells?
Endospores can form within different areas of the vegetative cell. They can be central, subterminal, or terminal. Central endospores are located within the middle of the vegetative cell. Terminal endospores are located at the end of the vegetative cell. Subterminal endospores are located between the middle and the end of the cell.

What is sea anemone reproduced from?
it reproduces by cell division.
Does every cell in a cotton plant produce cotton fibers?
No. Cotton plants are reproduced through their seeds. Commercial cotton -- the fibre -- is harvested from the cotton bolls what grow on the shrub.
What is the advantage of endospore to clostridium?
Endospores lay dormant until conditions are such that they can re-activate the cell.
What is the endospore position for Bacillus megaterium?
Bacillus megaterium forms central endospores, which are located in the center of the bacterial cell. These endospores are highly resistant structures that allow the bacterium to survive in harsh conditions.
Small rounded thick-walled resting cell?
I believe that you are referring to a bacterial endospore. Only a small number of bacteria can produce these (Gram-positive Firmicutes). Endospores are very tough and allow the bacteria that can produce them to survive high temperatures, pressures, drought, etc.
How many chromosomes are in an asexually reproduced cell?
In asexually reproduced cells, such as those created through binary fission in bacteria or mitosis in eukaryotic cells, the number of chromosomes remains the same as the parent cell.
