Abstract:
Unlike most other bacteria, many Listeria strains do not grow well in the minimal media described so far in the literature. Among the minimal media tested, a chemically defined medium modified from that of Premaratne and co-workers was found to support the best growth of Listeria spp. The promoting effect was due to the incorporation of several indispensable vitamins and growth factors.
