Question

What is endospore formation?

Answer 1

In this procedure the spore wall is formed around a bacterial cell to form an endospore. This endospore germinates to form and active endospore in favourable conditions
Explanation: To make spores, bacteria get rid of the necessary machinery of life. DNA replication, transcription and translation, metabolism, replication, etc. all stop, and the cell reverts to only the very basics (DNA, some proteins, a membrane and cell wall). In this state, it isn’t exactly alive, but instead ready to spring back to life when the conditions are right.
