“…After 1 h standing period 1 ml of the enrichment buffer was pipetted out into a sterile Petri-plate in duplicates and the recovered L. monocytogenes were cultured on, PALCAM-agar (HIMEDIA) medium as per the NF EN ISO 11290-2 procedure [5]. The plates were incubated at 37ºC for 48 h. Grey colored Colonies with black hallo zone were counted and isolated in Tripticase Soy-Agar with Yeast extract (TSAY) (HIMEDIA) and identified through Gram-staining, Cell-motility, Oxidase, Catalase, Indole, Methyl-red, Voges-Proskauer tests, Ureaseproduction, Simon citrate agar, and various sugar-fermentation tests (mannitol, rahmnose, and xylose).…”
