The cell surface changes sensitively with environmental stimuli because it locates at the interface between the cell and the environment. Bacteria have their elaborate systems against a variety of stresses as well as other organisms and possess abilities to adapt to, recover from, or obtain tolerance for stressful situations. In some cases, damages to the cell surface are likely to cause directly cell death. Here, an outline of our studies on the effect of heat stress on the structure and functions of cell surface and on the role of cell surface with regard to the heat resistance of bacteria is described.
