Role of TezRs in survival at the elevated temperature. Survival of bacteria at the elevated temperature relies on TezRs presence A Heat map summarizing the effect of primary TezRs removal on survival of a S. aureus culture heated for 10 min at different temperatures. The color intensity represents the average log10 CFU/mL, from white (minimal) to blue (maximum). Values represent the average of three independent experiments. B Heat map summarizing the effect of primary TezRs removal on survival after heating of a S. aureus culture at different temperatures for 10 min. The color intensity represents the average log10 CFU/mL, from white (minimal) to blue (maximum). Values represent the average of three independed experiments. C Heat map representing the time required for the enhanced temperature tolerance of S. aureus to disappear in control, TezR–D1d (65 °C), TezR–R1d (70 °C), and TezR–D1d/R1d (60 °C) cells. Green squares denote bacterial growth following heating and indicate enhanced temperature survival. Red squares denote lack of bacterial growth following heating and indicate no change in temperature tolerance. Values represent the average of three independent experiments
