Summary Introduction
To determine:
The importance of endospore in human life.
Introduction:
The endospore can be described as an important non-reproductive dormant structure formed by bacteria. It helps in the survival of the bacteria in a stressed condition, and it shifts back to the non-dormant stage when the conditions are favorable.
