Abstract excerpt
Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that has been implicated in many outbreaks associated with ready-to-eat products. Listeria adjusts to various stresses by adjusting its membrane fluidity, increasing the uptake of osmoprotectants and cryoprotectants, and activating the sigma(B) stress factor. The present work examines the regulation of membrane fluidity through direct measurement based on...
