Abstract excerpt
Population heterogeneity is an important component of the survival mechanism of Listeria monocytogenes, leading to cells in a population with diverse stress resistance levels. We previously demonstrated that several ribosomal gene rpsU mutations enhanced the stress resistance of L. monocytogenes and lowered the growth rate at 30 °C and lower temperatures. This study investigated whether these switches in...
