What is the purpose of bacterial endospores?
Answers
An endospore is a dormant, tough, non-reproductive structure produced by a small number of bacteria from the Firmicute family.
The primary function of most endospores is to ensure the survival of a bacterium through periods of environmental stress.
this is the best explanation mark me brainliest
Bacterial endospores serves the survival of the bacteria. The bacteria will change form into an endospore when conditions for survival is unfavorable. In this state they are hardier, resist many environmental changes, require no nutrients or water and can survive undetermined periods of time (it is believed it may survive thousands of years). Once survival conditions becomes favorable, it reverses it's form to normal bacterial form and restart division cycle.
