SOPC was chosen as both lipid types have transition temperature far below the temperature at experiments. In the revised version, we measured the bending modulus for another lipid type (POPC), measured and analysed by the same method for the same experimental conditions.
However, the comment of the reviewer is notable and we state in the conclusion of the manuscript (Lines 229–232) that at room temperature the thermophilicity is not necessarily related to the bending elasticity.
