Summary

Growth of Listeria monocytogenes on potato tuber slices and its interaction with four representative species of soft rot bacteria were investigated. When potato tuber slices were inoculated with one of two L. monocytogenes strains an increase in numbers of 3 to 4 logs per gram of tissue was observed at 20 °C for 6 days. However, an increase of about 2 logs was observed with samples at 8 °C for 12 days. When potato slices were simultaneously inoculated with L. monocytogenes and one of the four soft rot bacteria, the growth of L. monocytogenes was inhibited in the presence of P. fluorescens.
