When conditions outside the bacteria get very extreme and hard to live in, the bacteria can produce endospores, these endospores store the bacteria's genetic code so the bacteria can replenish itself should it happen to die in the harsh conditions.

Do bacteria form endospores to survive unfavorable conditions in their surrounddings?
Yes, they form Terminal, elliptical endospores.
When does endospores form?
When it wants to reproduce.
When does bacteria form Endospores?
When it wants to reproduce.
When endospore form?
Endospores form during a period called binary fission.
Does M luteus form endospores?
Yes. Rod shaped, gram positive with free spores. Endospores are sub-terminal.
What happens to bacteria when nutrients are scarce?
c. form endospores
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 structures do some bacteria form under unfavorable conditions?
endospores
What is the formsome bacteria take too keep from dying when they do not have enough food?
Some bacteria, like many Bacilllus species, form endospores when they run out of food. Endospores are resistant to heat, dessication, weak acid, etc.
What do endospores do?
Endospores store genetic material.
Is cocci assotiated with endospores?
Bacillus cells produce endospores.
What is the purpose of the bacterial endospores laboratory exercise?
To differentiate the bacterial endospores from the vegetative cells and to identify the morphology and location of the bacterial endospores.
