Listeria innocua NCTC 11289 was grown aerobically in continuous culture in defined media at 30 degrees C. Both acetate and lactate were produced, the proportion of acetate decreased with increasing dilution rate. Enzymatic analysis showed lactate dehydrogenase was activated 10-fold by fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate. The presence of phosphate acetyltransferase and acetate kinase but not pyruvate oxidase was detected, suggesting the sequential action of phosphate acetyltransferase and acetate kinase to produce acetate from acetyl CoA via acetylphosphate.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the urgent issue of antibiotic resistance by exploring new antimicrobial agents like peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGHs) and ribosomal proteins.
- A strain isolated from fermented meat showed significant antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, with optimal results at high nitrogen levels (5.7 g/L).
- Two proteins, RP uL14 and MupG, were identified and their production was influenced by nitrogen and carbon concentrations, emphasizing the role of nutritional sources in developing new antimicrobial solutions.

Article Synopsis
- Listeria monocytogenes can form tough biofilms in food processing areas, making it hard to eliminate despite existing control strategies.
- Research on fungal proteins showed that they effectively disrupt biofilm formation without directly killing the bacteria at higher temperatures.
- Fungal lectins specifically inhibited biofilm development at room temperature, suggesting potential use in preventing Listeria contamination on surfaces in food processing.
