The bending elasticity modulus depends on the temperature below and near the phase transition temperature, but far above the phase transition temperature (this is the case in our experiment) the bending elasticity modulus is practically constant. See: Temperature and Chain Length Effects on Bending Elasticity of Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers. Fernandez-Puente, I. Bivas, M. D. Mitov and P. Meleard, Europhys. Lett., 28, 181 (1994). We have added this text to the Discussion (Lines 234–237) and also added the reference to the reference list (ref.
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.
