Bacterial cysts differ from endospores in the way they are formed and also the degree of resistance to unfavorable conditions. Endospores are much more resistant than cysts.

A zygospore is a resting spore formed from the fusion of gametes in some fungi and algae. A cyst is a protective structure formed by some microorganisms in response to harsh environmental conditions. An endospore is a dormant, resistant structure formed by certain bacteria to survive adverse conditions. Both cysts and endospores help organisms withstand environmental stress, while zygospores are involved in sexual reproduction.
