C. Function of Endospores. An endospore is not a reproductive structure but rather a resistant, dormant survival form of the organism. Endospores are quite resistant to high temperatures (including boiling), most disinfectants, low energy radiation, drying, etc.. Endospores are dormant alternate life forms produced by a few genera of bacteria. 2. The genus Bacillus (an obligate aerobe often living in the soil) and the genus Clostridium (an obligate anaerobe living in the gastrointestinal tract of animals) produce endospores. 3.
Endospores are thick-coated, resistant cells produced within a bacterial cell that has been exposed to harsh conditions. Endospores are inert and can endure extreme conditions like radiation, heat and cold, absence of nutrients and water. When conditions are good, they produce vegetative cells and thrive.When condition turn unfavorable, endospores are produced again and they remain inert. Vegetative cells are any cells of plants or animals that do not participate in reproduction. These are vulnerable to external changes and react easily.ndospores are inert and can endure extreme conditions like radiation, heat and cold, absence of nutrients and water. When conditions are good, they produce vegetative cells and thrive. When condition turn unfavorable, endospores are produced again and they remain inert.
