Endospores are specialized cells formed by some bacteria, such as Bacillus and Clostridium species, during adverse conditions such as nutrient deprivation, heat, or desiccation. Endospores are highly resistant to heat, chemicals, and other environmental stresses, and can survive for long periods of time.
