title: Heat injury in Staphylococcus aureus 196E: protection by metabolizable and non-metabolizable sugars and polyols.
abstract: Polyols and sugars, which were not metabolized (O2 uptake or fermentation was not demonstrated), protected Staphylococcus aureus 196E against heat injury as well as metabolized compounds. Inhibitors of glucose metabolism decreased O2 uptake with glucose but did not affect the protective ability of glucose against heat injury.
