✦ Synopsis
Parameters of thermal death were determined in 10 strains of yeast species whose maximum temperatures for growth (T~na~) ranged from 22 to 49 ~ C. Arrhenius plots of the specific thermal death rates (ka) formed a positional sequence at the level of the experimental points that corresponded in all but one case to the sequence of the respective Tmax values. Extrapolated ka values at higher or lower temperatures no longer formed this sequence.
