Abstract
Expression of listeriolysin O of Listeria monocytogenes as a function of different growth conditions was studied by performing a direct hemo lysin assay, immunoblotting experiments, and an enzyme-linked immunoso rbent assay. Expression of listeriolysin O was reduced at a lower grow th temperatures (26-degrees-C) and at higher glucose concentrations (g reater-than-or-equal-to 0.3%) in the growth media. The effect of gluco se appeared to be due to a change in the pH of the growth media.
