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 d...
