Summary

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen with the ability to grow from 2 to 45 deg C. Twelve cold shock proteins were induced by cold shocking L. monocytogenes 10403S from 37 to 5 deg C. Strain SLCC53 showed a similar response. Cold acclimation proteins were observed in cultures of strain 10403S growing at 5 deg C, and four of these proteins were also cold shock proteins. The cold shock protein response of a cold-sensitive mutant examined was very similar to that of the parent strain.
