ABSTRACT
The concentrations of intracellular solutes in Listeria monocytogenes were examined in cells grown at various concentrations of NaCl. At 5% NaCl, cells contained elevated concentrations of potassium and glycine betaine compared with concentrations in cells grown without NaCl. At 7.5% NaCl, cells contained increased concentrations of K+, glycine betaine, glycine, alanine, and proline. Only glycine betaine, choline, or glycine promoted growth on a solidified defined medium containing 4% NaCl; there was no growth at higher concentrations of NaCl in the defined medium.
