Bacterial spores

en·do·spore (

-spôr

, -sp

)

1. A small asexual spore, as that formed by some bacteria.

2. The inner layer of the wall of a spore.

endospore [ˈɛndəʊˌspɔː]

1. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) a small asexual spore produced by some bacteria and algae

2. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) the innermost wall of a spore or pollen grain

endosporous [ɛnˈdɒspərəs ˌɛndəʊˈspɔːrəs] adj

endospore (

-spôr

)

A rounded, inactive form that certain bacteria assume under conditions of extreme temperature, dryness, or lack of food. The bacterium develops a waterproof cell wall that protects it from being dried out or damaged. Bacteria have been known to remain dormant but alive in the form of endospores for long periods of time, even thousands of years. Also called endosporium.

Noun

endospore - a small asexual spore that develops inside the cell of some bacteria and algae

spore - a small usually single-celled asexual reproductive body produced by many nonflowering plants and fungi and some bacteria and protozoans and that are capable of developing into a new individual without sexual fusion; "a sexual spore is formed after the fusion of gametes"
