Abstract
Histamine is predominantly produced in sausages via the decarboxylation of histidine by bacteria. Furthermore, histamine-producing bacteria usually possess the enzyme histidine decarboxylase (hdc). Enterobacter hormaechei RH3 isolated from sausages exhibited significant levels of histamine production despite the absence of hdc. In this study, we elucidated the previously unidentified mechanism underlying histamine production by RH3. We identified an enzyme, NehdX-772, exhibiting the hdc activity from the cell lysate supernatant of RH3, which was annotated as ornithine decarboxylase. The optimal activity of NehdX-772 was recorded at 35 °C and pH 6.0, and it could tolerate a salt concentration of 2.5% (w/v) NaCl. Moreover, artificial inoculation revealed that NehdX-772 was synthesized at significant levels in sausages, leading to an increase in histamine levels. The discovery of NehdX-772 explains the underlying mechanism of histamine production by RH3 and can be applied to decrease histamine production in sausages.
