Describe the formation and function of bacterial endospores.

Bacterial endospores are known as non-reproductive body obtain by some bacteria. The ability to obtain endospores, a process known as sporulation, some bacteria that can perform the process are Clostridium and Bacillus.

Steps involved in endospore forming are:

1) Development of axial filament, genetic material present in the bacterial cell is place in the center of the bacterial cell.

2) In this step the plasma membrane grow into the lumen present on the cell and form a septum (forespore septum), it is the result in separation of little part of DNA.

3) In this step the membrane present on the mother cell continuously grow and engulf the newly formed spore. Now the forespore is enclosed by 2 plasma membrane and inter membrane space.

4) Now the formation of cortex is started across the 2 membrane. Calcium and dipicolinic acids are also got together in this stage.

5) Protein coat is formed over the cortex present on the newly formed spore.

6) In this step spore mature, and cells came to be metabolically inactive.

7) In last step spore mother cell enzymatically distracted and release the endospores.

Main function of the bacterial cell is allowed to survive in harsh conditions such as chemical damage, starvation etc.

hello

answer: collecting information/data

reason: the student is going around and asking people questions to collect data

i hope this
