Fig. 3. Production of known metabolites by M. capitata under thermal stress.

(A) Accumulation of methionine, (B) accumulation of methionine sulfoxide, and (C) reduction of SAM. Differences between the T5 ambient- and high-temperature groups are significant, as determined by a two-tailed Student’s t test with P ≤ 0.05 for the analyses shown in (A) and (B). SAM showed a downward trend during the treatment but was not significantly different between the ambient- and high-temperature groups.
