what micro produces endospores
Endospores are dormant, non-reproductive and enzymatically inert forms of bacterial vegetative cells [1]. Endospore-producing bacteria are more conventionally termed âsporulating bacteriaâ. Sporulating bacteria are derived from the [1] Firmicute phylum and mainly consist of [2] Gram positive bacteria [7]. These endospore-forming bacteria belong to the [3] Bacillus and Clostridium genus [2].
