Abstract excerpt
The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) acid resistance system of the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes plays a major role in its survival at low pH. It was found that survival of the wild-type strain. LO28, in acidified reconstituted skim milk, diluted to reduce free glutamate levels. improves in response to supplementation with monosodium glutamate. A mutant, in which the two listerial GAD homologs have been...
