FIG 5

Heat inactivation of spores of wild-type NCTC 11219, NCTC 11219 bontE211a::CT, and NCTC 11219 ΔbontE::ermB strains at 90°C and 93°C. Averages ± standard deviations from three independent experiments are shown, as are average D values ± standard deviations at 90°C and 93°C derived from the linear part of the curve. A common superscript letter at the same temperature indicates that there is no significant difference.
