Cross protection by heat and cold shock to lethal temperatures in Clostridium perfringens
A heat shock pre-treatment of Clostridium perfringens provides protection against lethality from subsequent exposure to cold shock and vice versa. Heat shocked cells were more cold tolerant (one log reduction in 65 min) than control cells (one log reduction in 34 min). On the other hand, cold-shocke...
