Growth in BHI broth after 12 days at 4°C of L. monocytogenes strain 10403S and null mutant strains with a starting inoculum of 108 CFU/ml. Log-phase cells (OD600 = 0.4) grown at 37°C were inoculated into prechilled (4°C) BHI broth to an OD600 of 0.15 ± 0.05 (equivalent to approximately 108 CFU/ml). Growth between days 0 and 12 (shown on the y axis) represent the increase in CFU per milliliter from day 0 to day 12. Data represent three independent experiments; error bars indicate standard deviations. LS means in a mixed effects model with experiment as a blocking variable was used to determine whether growth for a given mutant strain differed significantly from that for the L. monocytogenes parent strain (10403S). ***, **, and *, Growth of a given mutant strain differed (P < 0.0001, <0.01, or <0.05, respectively) from growth of the parent strain. Corresponding OD600 data are shown in Supplemental Figure S1.
