Notes:
Bacterial isolates from spoiled skipjack tuna and jack mackerel were examined for their ability to produce histamine in tuna infusion broth. Thirty-one percent of the 470 isolates produced from 0.10 mg/ml to 4.0 mg/ml of histamine in broth. Forty-four of these isolates were tentatively identified as: Proteus morganii (21); Hafnia alvei (13); Proteus species (3); Klebsiella species (1); and unknown (6). Histamine (0.05M) did not inhibit histidine decarboxylase activity, but repressed histidine decarboxylase formation with one strain of Proteus morganii in a synthetic medium.
