| Abstract | In the past years, we explored the dynamics of Escherichia coli K12 at super-optimal temperatures under static and dynamic temperature conditions (Van Derlinden et al. (2008b, 2009, 2010). Disturbed sigmoid growth curves, i.e., a sequence of growth, inactivation and re-growth, were observed, especially close to the maximum growth temperature. Based on the limited set of experiments (i.e., 2 static temperatures and 2 dynamic temperature profiles), the irregular growth curves were explained by postulating the co-existence of two subpopulations: a more resistant, growing population and a temperature sensitive, inactivating population. In this study, the dynamics of the two subpopulations are studied rigorously at 11 constant temperature levels in the region between 45°C and 46°C, with at least five repetitions per temperature. At all temperatures, the total population follows a sequence of growth, inactivation and re-growth. The sequence of different stages in the growth curves can be explained by the two subpopulations. The first growth phase and the inactivation phase reflect the presence of the sensitive subpopulation. Hereafter, the population's dynamics are dominated by the growth of the resistant subpopulation. Generally, cell counts are characterized by a large variability. The dynamics of the two subpopulations are carefully analyzed using a heterogeneous subpopulation type model to study the relation between the kinetic parameters of the two subpopulations and temperature, and to evaluate if the fraction d of resistant cells varies with temperature. Results indicate that the growth rate of the sensitive subpopulation decreases with increasing temperature within the range of 45-46°C. Furthermore, results point in the direction that the duration of this initial growth phase is approximately constant, i.e., around 2h. Possibly, the stress resistance of the cells decreases after a certain period because the metabolism is fully adapted to exponential growth. Also, the growth rate of the resistant subpopulation decreases with increasing temperature. Due to the extreme variability in the cell density data, derivation of accurate relations was not possible. From the heterogeneous model implementations, given the experimental set-up, both a constant d value and a temperature dependent d value seem plausible. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
