how does a bacterial endospore differ from the vegetative cell structure, chemical composition, and ability to resist extreme environmental conditions?
Answers
Answer:
Microorganisms sense and adapt to changes in their environment. When favored nutrients are exhausted, some bacteria may become motile to seek out nutrients, or they may produce enzymes to exploit alternative resources. One example of an extreme survival strategy employed by certain low G+C Gram-positive bacteria is the formation of endospores
Explanation:
please mark me as brainliest
Explanation:
Only certain bacteria produce endospores.
Endospores help the organism survive in inhospitable environments. It helps protect the organism from dessication, from chemical damage, UV radiation, etc. Endospores also protect bacteria from the usual forms of disinfection; in other words, it may take longer for disinfectants to be effective against endospore forming bacteria.
