Abstract excerpt
Transposon mutagenesis was used to pursue the molecular basis of cold resistance in Listeria and its possible involvement in pathogenesis. We have generated transposon-induced mutants of Listeria monocytogenes which were unable to grow at 4 degrees C but grew at 8 degrees C, 22 degrees C and 37 degrees C. The transposon was localized in the same 1.8-kb EcoRI fragment in two independently derived mutants. Mutants...
