The lipid content of Listeria monocytogenes 5214m was increased by successive subculturing in a glycerol medium. Fattened cells showed considerably greater resistance to Butylatedhydroxyanisole (BHA). Polar lipids and fatty acid composition of four cultures with different BHA sensitivity were analysed. They are basically similar but the resistant cultures had a lower percentage of unsaturated and anteiso to saturated and iso fatty acids.
