FIG 1.

Growth and motility of the four L. monocytogenes EGDe isolates. (A) Growth in BHI medium under shaking conditions at 37°C. (B) Growth in MWB under static conditions at 30°C. The values presented in panels A and B are the means from 2 independent experiments, and the error bars represent the standard deviations. (C and D) Motility of the four isolates assessed after 24 and 48 h at 30°C using BHI (C) or MWB (D) soft agar. The EGDe ΔflaA strain was used as a negative control. Representative images are presented.
