AB  - The ability of heated scallop-shell powder (HSSP) to work against Listeria sp. 
      biofilm formed at a low temperature was investigated. A biofilm of L. innocua 
      ATCC 33090 was grown on a glass plate at 15 C for 15 days, then immersed in HSSP 
      slurry. Following treatment, the disinfection ability of the HSSP against the 
      biofilm was non-destructively quantified by conductimetric assay. The biofilm 
      grown at 15 C was less sensitive than that grown at 37 C to HSSP treatment and 
      alkaline treatment. The biofilm grown at 15 C was completely deactivated by 30 
      min of HSSP treatment (10 mg/mL, pH 12.5). In contrast, after 30 min treatment 
      with alkaline solution at pH 12.5 or sodium hypochlorite (100 ppm), the activity 
      was reduced by only one order of magnitude. The disinfection efficacy of HSSP (10 
      mg/mL) against L. innocua is similar to or higher than that of sodium 
      hypochlorite (200 ppm). Fluorescence microscopy validated the results of the 
      conductimetric assay. Therefore, HSSP treatment is a potentially powerful 
      alternative control agent against Listeria sp. biofilms that present hazards in 
      the food industry.
