[Influence of temperature on the variability of Listeria monocytogenes in the course of its prolonged existence in soil-packed water-circulating columns].
The capacity of L. monocytogenes for prolonged existence in the soil at different temperatures (18-20 degrees C and 6-8 degrees C) has been shown. The viability of these bacteria in the soil depends both on their properties and the temperature factor. Low temperatures (6-8 degrees C) ensure, on the whole, the stable preservation of the biological properties of the bacteria. More pronounced variability of L. monocytogenes at a temperature of 18-20 degrees C is an adaptive property, ensuring high ecological plasticity of the bacteria and their prolonged existence in the soil.
