Summary

THE MICROORGANISM SURVIVED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AT LOW INCUBATION TEMPERATURES: 278 AND 283 K (5 AND 10 DEG C), AND GREW AT INTERMEDIATE TEMPERATURES: 292 AND 301 K (19 AND 28 DEG C). AEROBIC INCUBATION AT 310 K (37 DEG C) RESULTED IN RELATIVELY RAPID INACTIVATION OF THE ORGANISM ; HOWEVER, WHEN OXYGEN WAS RESTRICTED THE ORGANISM RECOVERED AND SURVIVED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. OXYGEN RESTRICTION ENHANCED THE GROWTH RATE AT 292 K. RESULTS DEMONSTRATED TEMPERATURE AND OXYGEN AVAILABILITY INTERACTED TO INFLUENCE SURVIVAL OF L. MONOCYTOGENES IN LOW PH ENVIRONMENT.
