Tyramine and phenylethylamine biosynthesis by food bacteria.

Crit. Rev. Food Sci. Nutr 52(5) , 448-67, (2012)

Tyramine poisoning is caused by the ingestion of food containing high levels of tyramine, a biogenic amine. Any foods containing free tyrosine are subject to tyramine formation if poor sanitation and low quality foods are used or if the food is subject to tem...

Role of aromatic aldehyde synthase in wounding/herbivory response and flower scent production in different Arabidopsis ecotypes.

Plant J. 66(4) , 591-602, (2011)

Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylases (AADCs) are key enzymes operating at the interface between primary and secondary metabolism. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains two genes, At2g20340 and At4g28680, encoding pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent AADCs with...

Phenotypic and genetic evaluations of biogenic amine production by lactic acid bacteria isolated from fish and fish products.

Int. J. Food Microbiol. 146(2) , 212-6, (2011)

In this work, biogenic amine production (histamine, tyramine and putrescine) by a collection of 74 lactic acid bacteria of aquatic origin has been investigated by means of amino acid decarboxylation by growth on decarboxylase differential medium, biogenic ami...

Tyrosine- and histidine-decarboxylase positive lactic acid bacteria and enterococci in dry fermented sausages.

Meat Science 86(3) , 870-7, (2010)

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and enterococci were isolated immediately after stuffing (day 0), at the end of ripening (28th day) and at the end of storage (112th day) from dry fermented sausages produced by two different producers (K; R) in two diameters (4.5 a...

Tyramine biosynthesis in Enterococcus durans is transcriptionally regulated by the extracellular pH and tyrosine concentration.

Microb. Biotechnol. 2(6) , 625-33, (2009)

The microbial decarboxylation of some amino acids leads to the undesirable presence of biogenic amines in foods. One of the most abundant and frequent biogenic amines found in fermented foods is tyramine, which is produced by the decarboxylation of tyrosine. ...

Neuronal basis of innate olfactory attraction to ethanol in Drosophila.

PLoS ONE 7(12) , e52007, (2012)

The decision to move towards a mating partner or a food source is essential for life. The mechanisms underlying these behaviors are not well understood. Here, we investigated the role of octopamine - the invertebrate analogue of noradrenaline - in innate olfa...

Tyramine accumulation in rice cells caused a dwarf phenotype via reduced cell division.

Planta 233(2) , 251-60, (2011)

Transgenic rice plants overexpressing a rice tyrosine decarboxylase (TyDC) exhibited a dwarf phenotype with a high level of tyramine accumulation. The height of transgenic rice was reduced on average to 35% of the wild-type height, whereas the number of tille...

Isoform- and cell-specific function of tyrosine decarboxylase in the Drosophila Malpighian tubule.

J. Exp. Biol. 212(Pt 23) , 3802-9, (2009)

The biogenic amine tyramine (TA) is a potent diuretic factor when applied to the Malpighian tubule (MT) of Drosophila melanogaster, stimulating both urine production and transepithelial chloride conductance. Isolated MTs can respond not only to TA but also to...

Aversive odorant causing appetite decrease downregulates tyrosine decarboxylase gene expression in the olfactory receptor neuron of the blowfly, Phormia regina.

Naturwissenschaften 99(1) , 71-5, (2012)

In the blowfly Phormia regina, exposure to d-limonene for 5 days during feeding inhibits proboscis extension reflex behavior due to decreasing tyramine (TA) titer in the brain. TA is synthesized by tyrosine decarboxylase (Tdc) and catalyzed into octopamine (O...

Production of tyramine by Enterococcus faecalis strains in water-boiled salted duck.

J. Food Prot. 76(5) , 854-9, (2013)

The potential to produce biogenic amines was investigated with 15 Lactococcus lactis and 15 Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from water-boiled salted duck. The production of biogenic amines from the isolated strains grown in de Man Rogosa Sharpe broth c...
