    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_cell_structure

    Unlike eukaryotes, bacterial membranes (with some exceptions e.g. Mycoplasma and methanotrophs) generally do not contain sterols. However, many microbes do contain structurally related compounds called hopanoids which likely fulfill the same function. Unlike eukaryotes, bacteria can have a wide variety of fatty acids within their

  6. Endospore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endospore

    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, and one side then engulfs the other. [3] Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods, even centuries. There are many reports of spores remaining ...
