Bactrospore
Definition
A bacterial or mycological spore characterized by an elongated, cylindrical, rod-like shape. Microbiologically, the term describes endspores generated inside certain bacteria or the reproductive structures of lower fungi, whose geometric shape is essential for taxonomic identification under the microscope and for high resistance in adverse external environments.
