Mechanism by Which Laser Irradiation Combined with Spirulina platensis Enhances FeSO4-Induced Ferroptosis in Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes by SUN Jinyue, PAN Jianeng, CHEN Yiying, LIU Rencheng, ZHOU Wenwen

“…The 4 mmol/L Fe + SP + L treatment reduced the counts of both ST and LM to less than 1.4 (lg(CFU/mL)). Additionally, the Fe + SP + L treatment led to increased lipid peroxidation and ROS production and decreased proportion of GSH, thereby damaging the integrity of the cell membrane, increasing the permeability of the cell membrane, decreasing the membrane potential, increasing the leakage of intracellular nucleic acids and proteins, and ultimately resulting in the death of bacteria. …”
