Description
Bacterial endospore formation, diagram. The initial stage is at upper left, following the arrow to a ninth stage at lower right. Endospores (resting cells) are produced by bacteria in response to nutritional deficiency and adverse conditions, and may later germinate to form a vegetative bacterial cell if conditions improve. The formation process includes dividing of the genetic material (red, upper right), and the formation of the endospore's outer layers. The layers include a thick outer spore coat, a layered inner coat, and a thin membrane and cortex (blue and orange) around the central cytoplasm. The endospore is released at lower centre.
