Report Abuse. endospores are tough protective structures produced by some bacteria. the primary function of endospores is to pprotect the bacteria and ensure it's survival in adverse conditions like high temperatures,high salt concentrations, dessication, etc.
Endospores are commonly found in soil and water, where they may survive for long periods of time. A variety of different microorganisms form spores or cysts, but the endospores of low G+C gram-positive bacteria are by far the most resistant to harsh conditions.t is a stripped-down, dormant form to which the bacterium can reduce itself. Endospore formation is usually triggered by a lack of nutrients, and usually occurs in gram-positive bacteria. In endospore formation, the bacterium divides within its cell wall. One side then engulfs the other.
