Growth kinetics of L. monocytogenes 104 on BHI with added CFS of the studied P. pentosaceus strains. Optical density (at 600 nm) measurements of the medium with the following: circle: P. pentosaceus 63, diamond: P. pentosaceus 145, triangle: P. pentosaceus 146, square: P. pentosaceus 147, and asterisk: control without CFS. All data represent an average of three repeats. The values recorded in each experiment did not vary by more than 5%, and single data points are presented in the figures without standard deviation bars
