They form an endospore. An endospore is a thick cell wall that helps protect them.
Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods of time when the environment is unfavorable (such as extreme temperatures, radiation, extreme pH levels, extreme pressures and harmful chemical agents). Then, when the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state.

Most friendly bacteria (probiotics, those in fermented foods) are aerobic, meaning they survive in oxygen-rich environments, while most unfriendly bacteria, yeasts such as candida albicans, molds, etc are anaerobic and cannot survive in aerobic conditions. I found this out when researching the santitizing effects of hydrogen peroxide on sprouting and fermenting, and making rejuvelac and homemade probiotics. It will only harm the bad guys, and leave the good guys alone! Good news. Great health is simple, cheap, and easy. Enjoy!
Yes – by differing the culture medium, and by altering the environment conditions, one can selectively enhance or restrict the growth of various Bacteria.
The word 'inhospitable' is an adjective used to describe a noun as a harsh or difficult environment; as an unwelcoming, unfriendly attitude.Example sentence: A person needs some knowledge and experience to survive an inhospitable desert.
The high elevation which results in a varied oxygen level as well as a powerful decrease in temperature cause the inhabitants to be used to a harsher environment than most of us living at a normal elevation.
they survive in harsh conditions
With the help of endospores, or thick-walled structures that help the bacteria survive harsh conditions.
Endospores
they do survive when the environment is wet
What can protect bacteria from harsh conditions for even millions of years?
What can protect bacteria from harsh conditions for even millions of years?
Bacteria can go into a sort of hibernated state to survive in more hostile-to-life environments, such as in places with no food or water. They have a thick cellular wall.

There are a number of bacteria that DO survive in harsh environments be it pH or temperature extremes or an environment that is very salty. Bacteria that don't survive in harsh conditions usually lose cell wall integrity and break apart, or lose all their intercellular fluid and shrivel up.
Endospores
Since they are not alive, they just wait for better conditions.
