Why are the bacterial endospores placed on the paper strip and not directly in the fermentation broth?

The bacterial endospores are microorganisms formed due to nutrient deprivation. These are placed first on a paper strip and not directly in the fermentation broth because these microorganisms are very resistance, thus, they need to adjust to the environment first before being acclimated to it. 

Spontaneity tell us the direction of the reaction, but not how fast it goes. gibbs free energy brings together enthalpy, entropy and temperature in one easy formula. g = h - ts. and, finally the sign of delta g is always negative for a spontaneous reaction.

Tropical easterlies is mostly likely your answer correct me if i’m wrong
