The specific activity of histidine-decarboxylase of halophilic histamine-forming bacteria, Photobacterium phosphoreum and Photobacterium histaminum sp. nov., remained 27~53% of the initial value after seven days storage at -20°C, while the viable cells decreased by more than 6 log cycles of the initial counts. This finding suggests the possibility that outbreaks of scombroid fish poisoning are caused by the ingestion of frozen-thawed fish and its products, even when the viable count of histamine-forming bacteria is low.
嗜盐产组胺菌——发光杆菌和新种组胺发光杆菌的组氨酸脱羧酶的比活性,在-20°C储存7天后仍保持初始值的27%至53%,而活菌数比初始计数减少了超过6个对数周期。这一发现表明,即使产组胺菌的活菌数很低,食用冻融鱼及其制品仍有可能导致鲭鱼中毒爆发。
