Certain bacteria can produce something called an endospore, which is a spore that contains DNA, cytoplasm, and a tough outer coating. They are only produced under times of stress when conditions are much less than ideal (ex. extreme heat/cold, drought, extreme radiation, lack of nutrients). Once conditions return to normal, the endospore returns to its bacterial form. Perhaps this is the answer?
