What are endospores? How are these different from spores?
Solution
Answer:
Endospores are tough, dormant, non-reproductive structure produced by some bacteria, example
Clostridium. The endospores are resistant to UV radiation and extreme conditions such as high
and freezing temperatures.
They have special coat properties which makes them resistant to harsh environments. Their spore
layers include: exosporium, spore coat, spore cortex and core wall. They can form under starving
conditions, i.e, lack of nutrients by a process called sporulation.
Spore on the other hand is a an active reproductive structure produced by plants or fungi as
compared to endospores which are produced by bacteria and are non reproductive, dormant
structures.
