Abstract
Heat causes damage to macromolecular cell components; thus the main function of heatinduced
stress proteins is to repair or destroy these damaged components so that they do not
disrupt cellular metabolism. Many heat-induced stress proteins are protein chaperones that
assist in folding and assembly of heat-damaged proteins (Yousef and Courtney, 2003). In
addition to these changes, some bacteria also alter their cell membrane in response to heat by
increasing the ratio of trans to cis fatty acids in the membrane. This structural change is
thought to decrease fluidity caused by increasing temperatures (Cronan, 2002).
