Pyrolobus fumarii (archaeon): optimum = 113 °C
E. coli: Minimum 8°C, optimum 39°C, maximum 48°C
Maximum: E. coli, for example, the Max. Temp. decrease 3 C (to 45 C) when it is
grown in a medium lacking methionine. This effect is known to be caused by the thermolability of the biosynthetic
enzyme homoserine trans-succinylase.

34. Maximum temperature In E. coli, within several minutes following a shift from 37 to 42 C, one observes induction of several dozen
specific HS proteins and the repression of normal protein synthesis. This response is controlled by
reprogramming transcription by alternate sigma factors.In E. coli, within several minutes following a shift from 37 to 42 C, one observes induction of several dozen
