Deciphering the global roles of Cold shock proteins in Listeria monocytogenes nutrient metabolism and stress tolerance by Francis Muchaamba, Ueli von Ah, Roger Stephan, Marc J. A. Stevens, Taurai Tasara

“…Selected PM-based observations were further corroborated through targeted phenotypic assays, confirming that Csps are crucial in Lm for optimal utilization of various C-sources including rhamnose and glucose as well as tolerance against NaCl, β-phenyethylamine (PEA), and food relevant detergent stress conditions. Strain and genetic lineage background-based differences, division of labour, epistasis, and functional redundancies among the Csps were uncovered with respect to their roles in various processes including C-source utilization, cold, and PEA stress resistance. …”
