RESUMO
The heat resistance of spores of Bacillus subtilis formed at 30°C was enhanced by pretreatment at 48°C for 30 min, 60 min into sporulation, for all four strains examined. High-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed the generation and/or overexpression of 60 proteins, 11 of which were specific to heat shock, concurrent to this acquired thermotolerance. The greatest number of new proteins was observed between 30 and 60 min after heat shock, and the longer the time between exponential growth and heat treatment, the fewer differences were observed on corresponding protein profiles. The time at which heating produced the maximum increase in spore resistance and the most new proteins on two-dimensional gels occurred before alkaline phosphatase and dipicolinic acid production and corresponded to stage I or II of sporulation. The stress proteins formed disappeared later in sporulation, suggesting that heat shock proteins increase spore heat resistance by altering spore structure rather than by repairing heat damage during germination and outgrowth.
