Genetic Analysis with Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA of the Multiple Enterocin-Producing Enterococcus lactis 4CP3 Strain and Its Efficient Role in the Growth of Listeria monocytogenes in Raw Beef Meat

Figure 3

Influence of inhibitory LAB cultures on the growth of L. monocytogenes EGDe 107776 in raw beef meat during storage at 10°C. Blue circle: control (L. monocytogenes EGDe 107776 without enterocin-producing LAB strain), violet diamond: E. faecium VC185 (non-bacteriocin-producing LAB strain), and green square: E. lactis 4CP3 strain (enterocins A, B and P-producing strain).
