Quantification of the extracellular matrix of the<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>biofilms of different phylogenic lineages with optimization of culture conditions

Abstract

This study screened the potential of a wide panel of L. monocytogenes strains to synthesize exopolymers in biofilm growing condition. The characterization of L. monocytogenes biofilm composition may help to develop new strategies to prevent the formation of biofilms and to remove the biofilms.
