Abstract
SummaryCell walls from Listeria monocytogenes Strain A4413 underwent spontaneous dissolution between pH 8 and 5.2; the optimum was between pH 7 and 8. Walls from early log phase cells were degraded more rapidly than walls from terminal log phase cells. Dissolution could be precluded by mild heat treatment, and appeared related to the destruction of multiple layers of wall structure.
