The microbe would have to change fundamental parts of its structure — like, suddenly develop the ability to create endospores.

不得不改变其结构重要部分——比如突然发育出创造内孢子能力。

Matrix producers pump out the extracellular goo, swimmers assemble flagella and are free to move about or migrate, and spore-formers produce dormant, tough endospores that survive starvation, temperature extremes, and harmful radiation.

基质制造者能够分泌胞外粘性物质，鞭毛可以自由活动和迁移，芽孢生产休眠、孢子内壁，孢子内壁能够在饥饿、极端温度、以及有害射线下生存。
