Listeria motility

Hover over the image to zoom in.

  • Listeria monocytogenes is optimally motile at 25C; and is non-motile at 35-37C.
  • Motility may be directly assessed by observing bacterial cells with a tumbling motion in a direct mount preparation.
  • In soft motility agar, the identification can be made by observing for a thin, umbrella-like lateral extension of growth from the stab line (noted by arrows in the image).
