Answer 1

where is ur option of this question

Answer 2

Listeria monocytogenes

• Foods that are vacuum-packed are devoid of oxygen to keep them fresh and extend their shelf life, but this tactic benefits Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that causes a type of food poisoning that kills 25% of those who contract it.
• Listeria, in contrast to many other food-borne pathogens, can flourish even in the frigid temperatures of refrigerators. The germ has been connected to foods including raw milk, ice cream, soft-ripened cheeses like feta, Brie, and Camembert, hot dogs, deli meats, raw vegetables, raw and cooked chicken, and raw and smoked fish, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
• Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark found that when Listeria is oxygen-deprived, it becomes aggressive and can become up to 100 times more invasive than when it is given enough oxygen to thrive. Their findings were published online on June 14 in the journal BMC Microbiology.

Hence, Listeria monocytogenes can grow in airtight sealed food container.
