Effects of Melastoma malabathricum Linn. extracts on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes IMR L55. L. monocytogenes IMR L55 was inoculated at various pH values containing 100 mg/mL extracts; (a) pH 4; (b) pH 6; (c) pH 7; (d) pH 8. Cultures were incubated at 37°C. (○) control; (■) flower; (▲) fruit. The values represent the mean ± S.D. of triplicate preformed test for three times repeated. Different letters above each line indicate significant difference between means () within the same inoculation time.
