Summary Introduction

To answer:

In what way the endospores of bacteria vary from the actinomycetes spores.

Introduction:

Clostridium sp. and Bacillus sp. form asexual spore and are termed as endospores. Endospores are essential for numerous reasons, including durability (active for years) and potential pathogenicity. Endospores can live in the absence of nutrients and they are unaffected by high temperature (boiling water), chemical disinfectants, ultraviolet radiation, desiccation, and extreme freezing.
