At 22 degrees C a flagellin mutant of Listeria monocytogenes was found to attach to stainless steel at levels 10-fold lower than wild-type cells, even under conditions preventing active motility. At 37 degrees C, when flagella are not produced, attachment of both strains was identical. Therefore, flagella per se facilitate the early stage of attachment.
在22摄氏度时，发现单核细胞增生李斯特菌的鞭毛蛋白突变体附着在不锈钢上的水平比野生型细胞低10倍，即使在阻止主动运动的条件下也是如此。在37摄氏度时，此时不产生鞭毛，两种菌株的附着情况相同。因此，鞭毛本身有助于附着的早期阶段。
