HPP experiment repeated for gene sequencing.
The experiment of submitting two HPP resistant L. monocytogenes strains, RO15 and Scott A, to high pressure treatments and following their recovery was repeated and a new strain (S2542) was incorporated in the experiment, which aims to reveal the genes involved in the resistance mechanisms of L. monocytogenes to high pressure processing. Cropped cells were stabilized with RNAprotect® and sent to the Finish partner for gene sequencing.
