Endospore formation is usually triggered by a lack of nutrients, and usually occurs in gram-positive bacteria. [ [ In endospore formation, the bacterium divides within its cell wall. One side then engulfs the other. Endospores enable bacteria to lay dormant for extended periods, even centuries.</span>
