Fig. 1. Inhibition of the growth of L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644 (A, C) and L. monocytogenes ATCC 19114 (B, D) by listeria phages in tryptic soy broth at 30°C.
Inoculum size of the host bacteria in TSB media was 5×105 CFU/mL and the growth was measured by O.D. values during the incubation at 30°C for 24 h. A and B: Phages were applied at an MOI of 10. (●) Control, (■) LMP1, (▲) LMP7, (×) LMP8, and (◆) LMP12. C and D: Phages were applied at an MOI of 100. (○) Control, (□) LMP1, (△ ) LMP7, (×) LMP8, and (◇) LMP12.
