Aims: When subjected to dynamic temperatures surpassing the expected maximum growth
temperature, Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 shows disturbed growth curves. These irregular …

Aims: Non‐sigmoid growth curves of Escherichia coli obtained at constant temperatures
near the maximum growth temperature (T max) were previously explained by the …

Acid-adapted bacterial cells are known to have enhanced tolerance to various secondary
stresses. However, a comparison of heat tolerance of acid-adapted and acid-shocked cells …

Aims: This paper studies and models the effect of the amplitude of a sudden temperature
upshift Δ T on the adaptation period of Escherichia coli, in terms of the work to be done by …

The effects of heat-stress kinetics on the viability of Escherichia coli were investigated. Cells
were exposed to heat-stress treatments extending from 30 to 50° C, with either a slope (40 …

Abstract Aims: The dynamics of Escherichia coli near the maximum temperature for growth
in a rich medium are analysed. The effects of temperature history, medium composition and …

This study aimed to demonstrate that adequate slow heating rate allows two strains of
Escherichia coli rapid acclimation to higher temperature than upper growth and survival …

AIM: The effect of spent medium, obtained after different time–temperature pre-histories, on
the heat inactivation of Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 is studied. METHODS AND RESULTS …

The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of the (possible) acid adaptation during
growth in a glucose rich environment on the heat resistance of Escherichia coli K12 …

Preceding dynamic experiments with Escherichia coli K12 revealed disturbed growth curves
when temperature surpasses the maximum growth temperature. In this work, heat stress …
