Identification and Disruption of BetL, a Secondary Glycine Betaine Transport System Linked to the Salt Tolerance of Listeria monocytogenes LO28

The trimethylammonium compound glycine betaine (N,N,N-trimethylglycine) can be accumulated to high intracellular concentrations, conferring enhanced osmo- and cryotolerance upon Listeria monocytogenes. We report the identification of betL, a gene encoding a glycine betaine uptake system in L. monocy...
