title: Microcalorimetric investigations on Listeria.
abstract: Sixty-one Listeria strains--Listeria monocytogenes (35 strains), Listeria ivanovii (8), Listeria innocua (7), Listeria welshimeri (6) and Listeria seeligeri (5)--were tested microcalorimetrically for their heat production upon growth in Columbia broth. Listeria ivanovii and Listeria seeligeri displayed different and quite characteristic thermograms. Listeria welshimeri, Listeria innocua and all but one of the Listeria monocytogenes strains showed similar microcalorimetric curves, which differed considerably from those of Listeria ivanovii and Listeria seeligeri.
