Influence of interactions between temperature, ferric ammonium citrate and glycine betaine on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in a defined medium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: To investigate interactions, if any, between temperature, ferric ammonium citrate and glycine betaine on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in modified Pine's medium (Pine et al. 1989). METHODS AND RESULTS: Modified Pine's medium containing 0, 0.044, 0.088 or 0.176 g l(-1) ferric ammonium citrate, and 0 or 1 mM glycine betaine, was inoculated with each of two L. monocytogenes strains and incubated at 4, 25 or 37 degrees C. The optical density at 600 nm, and cell numbers, were determined at appropriate time intervals. At 4 degrees C, but not other temperatures, increasing ferric ammonium citrate resulted in improved growth in the absence, but not the presence, of glycine betaine. The presence of glycine betaine was inhibitory at 25 and 37 degrees C, but not at 4 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: Interactions affecting the growth kinetics of L. monocytogenes were apparent between the parameters investigated. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Limitations on the use of modified Pine's medium, and the significance of iron metabolism at lower temperatures, were revealed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
