Some members of the Firmicutes (phylum), including the genera of Clostridium (and Clostridium-related bacteria) and Bacillus can form endospores.
Some members of the order Actinomycetales, including but not limited to the genera Actinomyces and Streptomyces, are capable of forming spores in arial hyphae (spelling on that one).
Some members of the family Myxococcaceae, including the genera Myxococcus and Anaeromyxococcus, are capable of forming spores inside of fruiting bodies.
Fungii also form spores.

Mostly Gram negative bacteria reproduces by producing spores. These spores are thermal resistant and can live even for 100 years.

There are a number of them. Several forms of bacteria, notably Bacillus and Clostridium species for what are called endospores. Fungi including mushrooms and yeasts also produce different varieties of spores.
