Comment on "Lethally hot temperatures during the Early Triassic greenhouse".
2013
Sun et al . (Reports, 19 October 2012, p. 366) reconstructed Permian to Middle Triassic equatorial seawater temperatures. After correct temporal positioning of their data points, their presumed trends of temperature changes, and hence their assumption of a one-to-one relationship between putative "lethally hot" seawater temperatures and a disputable equatorial "eclipse" of some organisms, are no longer supported by their data.
Combined action of redox potential and pH on heat resistance and growth recovery of sublethally heat-damaged Escherichia coli
2000
International audience; The combined effect of redox potential (RP) (from -200 to 500 mV) and pH (from 5.0 to 7.0) on the heat resistance and growth recovery after heat treatment of Escherichia coli was tested. The effect of RP on heat resistance was very different depending on the pH. At pH 6.0, there was no significant difference, whereas at pH 5.0 and 7.0 maximum resistance was found in oxidizing conditions while it fell in reducing ones. In sub-lethally heat-damaged cells, low reducing and acid conditions allowed growth ability to be rapidly regained, but a decrease in the redox potential and pH brought about a longer lag phase and a slower exponential growth rate, and even led to growt…
