Heat Shock - Inducing Heat Shock

Inducing Heat Shock

In fish that survive at 0°C, heat shock can be induced with temperatures as low as 5°C, whereas thermophilic bacteria that proliferate at 50°C will not express heat shock proteins until temperatures reach approximately 60°C. The process of heat shocking can be done in a CO2 incubator, O2 incubator, or a hot water bath.
