Suppose you were culturing a population of bacteria at 37 degrees C and then reduce the temperature of the culture to 15 degree C. Immediately upon the decrease in temperature what would happen to the Tm (Temperature of Melting) of the membrane?

38. Bacteria are typically grown at a temperature of 37°C. What happens to the membrane lipid composition if the temperature is increased to 42°C?

If you took a bacterium living in a hot spring with 50°C water and placed it in a cool mountain stream with 20°C water, what might happen? Please describe what happens to all aspects of the cell: the cell membrane, osmotic regulation, metabolism etc.
