The electron transport system influences sensitivity to high temperatures. (A) Nine genes were identified as growth advantaged at 43°C in comparison to 30°C. The number of reads per gene normalized to 5 million reads is shown for each temperature. (B) Pathway analysis revealed that this subset of genes (highlighted in yellow) is involved in the biosynthesis of components within the electron transport system, including protoheme and menaquinones. (C) Blocking the electron transport system at the F-type ATPase level, however, decreased fitness at 43°C (genes highlighted in yellow). The number of reads per gene normalized to 5 million reads is shown for each temperature.
