susceptibility of ultra-bacteria to heat?

I was wondering if the "ultra"-bacteria (bacteria the size of viruses such
as crytosporidium, etc.) are as resistant to heat sterilization as other
bacteria - i.e. needing 120 degrees C for 20 minutes - or if it's like
viruses needing only 80 degrees C for a minutes or so.

Thanks.
