6. Endospores and persister cells are both used by bacteria to survive harsh conditions. However, these two structures are not similar, and they do not protect against the same harsh conditions.
A. Both endospores and persister cells are in a state of dormancy, but not for the same reasons. Explain the difference between persister dormancy and endospore dormancy. What is involved in each, and how does the level of inactivity compare?
B. Endospores are resistant to heat damage. Explain why. Would you predict that persisters are also resistant to heat damage?
