The aim of this study was to discover new bacterial strains capable of growing in the stressful environment of fish sauce fermentation and metabolizing histamine. Strain TT8.5 showed the highest histamine-degradation ability and was identified as Virgibacillus campisalis TT8.5. It exhibited optimal growth and histamine-degrading activity at 37°C, pH 7%, and 5% NaCl.
Traditionally produced fish sauce can contain significant amounts of histamine. In some instances, the histamine concentration may be well above the limit recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The aim of this study was to discover new bacterial strains capable of growing under the stressful environmental conditions of fish sauce fermentation and metabolizing histamine. In this study, 28 bacterial strains were isolated from Vietnamese fish sauce products based on their ability to grow at high salt concentrations (23% NaCl) and tested for their ability to degrade histamine. Strain TT8.5 showed the highest histamine-degradation (45.1 +/- 0.2% of initially 5 mM histamine within 7 days) and was identified as Virgibacillus campisalis TT8.5. Its histamine-degrading activity was shown to be localized intracellularly and the enzyme is a putative histamine dehydro-genase. The strain exhibited optimal growth and histamine-degrading activity at 37 degrees C, pH 7%, and 5% NaCl in halophilic archaea (HA) histamine broth. It also showed pronounced histamine-degrading activity in HA hista-mine broth when cultivated at temperatures of up to 40 degrees C as well as in the presence of up to 23% NaCl. After treatment with immobilized cells, 17.6-26.9% of the initial histamine in various fish sauce products were reduced within 24 h of incubation, while no significant changes in other parameters of fish sauce quality were observed after this treatment. Our results indicate that V. campisalis TT8.5 is of potential interest to be applied in histamine degradation of traditional fish sauce.
