SUPPLEMENTAL FIGURE S1. Growth in BHI after 12 days at 4°C of L. monocytogenes strain 10403S and null mutant strains, using a starting inoculum of 108 CFU/ml. . Log-phase cells (OD600=0.4) grown at 37°C were inoculated into pre-chilled (4°C) BHI to an OD600=0.15 ± 0.05 (equivalent to 108 CFU/ml). Values for growth represent the difference between the OD600 value at day 12 and OD600 value at day 0. LS means in a mixed effects model, using the factor “experiment” as a blocking factor, was used to determine if the OD600 value for a given mutant strain differed significantly from the OD600 value for the L. monocytogenes parent strain (10403S); ***, **, and * indicate that growth for a given mutant strain differed with p<0.0001, p<0.01, or p<0.05 from growth for the parent strain. Data represents three independent experiments. Error bars indicate standard deviation.
