rarA, and identification of the remaining 2 species was possible by analysis of the ldh Tm values. The rarA sequences of Listeria strains which were compared for designing the primer sets and were used in Figure 1 were aligned to confirm the variety of HRM profile of each Listeria spp.(Figure S1). The ldh sequences of L. monocytogenes and L. welshimeri were also aligned (Figure S2). It was considered that the polymorphism of these sequences which were different from species to species showed diverse HRM peak patterns and Tm values.
