Report Abuse. endospores are tough protective structures produced by some bacteria. the primary function of endospores is to pprotect the bacteria and ensure it's survival in adverse conditions like high temperatures,high salt concentrations, dessication, etc.
Endospores are formed priarily by gram + rods in response to harsh environmental conditions. They allow long-term survival of the bacterium.In addition to protection from heat and chemicals, endospores prevent dessication of the cell and are able to survive harsh conditions for weeks, months or even years. This allows survival of the bacteria in conditions such as dry soil.
