TABLE 1.

Changes in mean C12:0 percentages and fluidity indices of cell membranes of Listeria monocytogenes due to exposure to LA (2.4 mg/ml), ML (5 μg/ml), and ML-LA during growth for 24 to 48 h

Treatment	Incubation time (h)	Change ind:
		Mean C12:0 %a	C15/C17 ratiob	(C12-C15)/C17 indexc
Control	24	0	1.00	1.00
	48	0	1.07	1.07
LA	24	0	1.01	1.01
	48	0	1.04	1.04
ML	24	3.63	0.97	1.05
	48	4.36	1.05	1.15
ML-LA	24	NG	NG	NG
	48	6.35	0.90	1.03

^aAll four values for treatments with control and LA are not significantly different from each other. Both values for ML treatment are not significantly different (P > 0.05).

^bAll values for treatment with control and LA and the value for ML treatment at 48 h incubation are not significantly different from each other. The value for control treatment at 24 h, that for ML treatment at 24 h, and that for ML-LA treatment at 48 h are not significantly different from each other (P > 0.05).

^cThe values for control treatment at 48 h and ML treatment at 24 and 48 h are not significantly different from each other. Both values for control treatment, both for LA treatment, the value for ML treatment at 24 h, and that for ML-LA treatment at 48 h are not significantly different from each other (P > 0.05).

^dNG, no growth.
