Heat Map Analysis (IMAGE) Research Organization of Information and Systems Caption Figure 2 shows the heat map generated from research data. A heat map analysis is one approach to graphically representing numeric data by color shading. Each horizontal bar in the figure represents a metabolite. The deeper the red, the more metabolite produced; the deeper the green, the less metabolite produced. In the case of strain SK-4, which is well-adapted to subzero conditions, the metabolite-response pattern for cold shock (-3 °C, outlined by the light blue border) was clearly divided from the pattern at 10 °C (outlined by the orange border; by contrast, the response pattern of TKG1-2, which did not grow efficiently at subzero temperatures, at 10 °C (outlined by the orange border) was separated from the pattern at -3 °C (outlined by the light blue border) only at the 72-h cultivation time point.
