In a food-processing environment, bacterial cells often adhere to surfaces and form biofilms to protect themselves from external adverse influences. Our study aimed to identify the influence of environmental factors and cell properties on Listeria monocytogenes biofilm formation. Biofilm formation was quantified through measuring the optical density at 590 nm (OD590 nm) after crystal violet staining. Neutral pH and 37oC were beneficial for biofilm formation whereas the influence of glucose (0.0-1.0%) and sodium chloride (0.0-1.0%) were straindependent. In general, the addition of sodium chloride and glucose increased biofilm formation in most strains compared to that in controls with no sodium chloride or glucose added. Bacteria with strong biofilm-forming capacity always produced large amounts of biofilm in most instances. Biofilm formation positively correlated with the cell surface hydrophobicity and motility but was independent from planktonic cell growth. The expression of flagella-related flaA, motB, and the two-component chemotactic system cheA/Y genes in biofilm cells increased compared to that in planktonic cells. Meanwhile, a cheY knockout mutant was constructed, and decreased biofilm-formation ability along with reduced cell-surface hydrophobicity were found in the non-motile mutant. Furthermore, the cheY knockout mutant showed no change in growth, and pH susceptibility compared to that in the wild-type strain.
