Endospore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An endospore is a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by Gram-positive bacteria from the Firmicute phylum that forms when a bacterium produces a thick internal wall that encloses...

The Microbiology Video Library. ... Bacterial endospores are highly resistant to hostile physical and chemical conditions. Only a few genera of bacteria such as Bacillus and Clostridium are capable of forming endospores. These are a dormant form of the bacterium that allows it to survive sub-optimal environmental conditions.

How Do Mold Spores Differ From Bacterial Endospores?. Perhaps the most important way that mold spores differ from bacterial endospores is that molds are classified as so-called higher fungi. As such they feature what biologists term the eukaryotic... ... Bacterial endospores on the other hand form from bacteria which are--
