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.
Bacteria in the genera Bacillus and Clostridium are able to enter a state of dormancy during unfavorable growth conditions. These bacteria form endospores that are extremely resistant to environmental extremes, chemical degradation, and the effects of time.n endospore is an extremely resistant dormant cell structure produced by some bacterial species. If you break down the term endospore, 'endo-' means 'inside' and '-spore' refers to the 'dormant structure,' so the endospore is a structured formed inside the cell.
