Abstract:

Seven biogenic amine-producing strains were isolated and purified from mackerel. The results showed that three of the
strains produced serotonin, four produced 2-phenylethylamine, four generated putrescine, one produced cadaverine, three produced
histamine, and one produced tyramine. Strain 1 that produced a higher amount of histamine than other strains was identified as lung
Pasteurella pneumotropica with a reliability of 99.9% by analysis of morphological and physio-chemical properties.

Key words: mackerel, biogenic amine-producing bacteria, histamine, physio-chemical properties
