Further observations of changed growth of Listeria monocytogenes on salt agar.
The changes produced in Listeria monocytogenes grown on salt media were studied. High concentration of NaCl is really a possible inducer of filamentation as well as of spheroplasting in L. m. It acts by inhibiting the cell division of these bacteria.
