What is bacteria that remains inactive until environmental conditions are favorable?

Are you looking for a general term to describe that kind of bacteria, or for an example of a bacterium that can do that? For the second case, all bacteria in the genus Bacillus are spore forming bacteria, and there are several other groups of bacteria that also form spores (I think Clostridium is another group that forms spores).
