TABLE 2.

Numbers of adherent L. monocytogenes Scott A cells on stainless steel chips as determined by adhesion assays performed in the presence of 1.5 × 10⁻¹ or 1.5 × 10⁻³ M NaCl after growth in TSYE at four different temperatures^a

NaCl concn (M)	Log no. of adherent cells after growth at:
	37°C	20°C	15°C	8°C
1.5 × 10−1	6.4 ± 1.2	5.6 ± 0.9	4.1 ± 0.8	4.4 ± 0.2
1.5 × 10−3	5.2 ± 1.0	4.9 ± 0.9	3.0 ± 0.3	3.9 ± 0.6

^aThe values are means ± standard deviations (n = 6).
