Role of branched-chain fatty acids in pH stress tolerance in Listeria monocytogenes.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Feb 2007

Giotis Efstathios S, McDowell David A, Blair Ian S, Wilkinson Brian J

Abstract excerpt

In alkaline conditions, Listeria monocytogenes cells develop higher proportions of branched-chain fatty acids (FAs), including more anteiso forms. In acid conditions, the opposite occurs. Reduced growth of pH-sensitive mutants at adverse pH (5.0/9.0) was alleviated by the addition of 2-methylbutyrate (an anteiso-FA precursor), suggesting that anteiso-FAs are important in adaptation to adverse pH. The balance...
