AI Article Synopsis

  • The study shows that cells can adapt and survive high temperatures based on their initial growth conditions.
  • Cells grown at 42 °C had higher trehalose levels compared to those grown at 25 °C, indicating a stress response mechanism.
  • Cells acclimatized to 42 °C performed better in surviving exposure to 65 °C, suggesting this adaptability may help them thrive in premise plumbing systems.

Article Abstract

is capable of an adaptive, reversible response to high-temperature survival depending on its growth temperature. Trehalose concentrations of cells grown at 42 °C were significantly higher compared to those of cells grown at 25 °C. Further, the survival of cells of grown at 42 °C and exposed to 65 °C were significantly higher than the survival of cells grown at 25 °C. This adaptive response to growth temperature may play a role in the persistence of in premise plumbing.
