Aim: The spoilage potential of 28 bacterial strains isolated from spoiled raw yellowfin tuna was evaluated.
Methods And Results: Bacterial species were inoculated in irradiated tuna matrix. Chemical changes, bacterial growth and sensory quality were monitored during aerobic storage at 8°C. Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia hermanii had no spoiling effect. Brochothrix thermosphacta and Carnobacterium divergens/maltaromaticum developed moderate unpleasant odours. Hafnia paralvei and Serratia spp. released strong off-odours (pyrrolidine, sulphur/cabbage). No bacterial group (except H. paralvei) combined with Pseudomonas spp. deteriorated the sensory quality of tuna. When C. divergens/maltaromaticum was associated with H. paralvei or B. thermosphacta, the odour is close to the naturally contaminated tuna stored on the same conditions. The pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) and trimethylamine (TMA) were not correlated with the spoilage.
Conclusions: The bacterial species had a different impact on the sensory quality of the fish. The bacterial interactions lead to an enhancement or an inhibition of the spoilage potential and the bacterial growth.
Significance And Impact Of Study: The specific spoilage organism (SSO) appears to be an association of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with Enterobacteriaceae or B. thermosphacta. Pseudomonas, often dominant at the sensory rejection time, is not a good quality indicator.

Post-harvest losses and rapid fruit ripening at room temperature are major challenges in preserving fruit quality. This study aimed to reduce such losses by applying a red carotenoid pigment, bacterioruberin extracted from an sp. The carotenoid was characterized as bacterioruberin and its derivative tetra anhydrous bacterioruberin (λmax 490 nm), and an / value of 675 and 742 (M+ 1H).

This study investigated whether viable cells, dead cells or cell-free supernatants (CFS) were responsible for the biocontrol effect of strains from two important bacterial genera, and , known for their antifungal properties against plant pathogens and food spoilage microorganisms. Specifically, the capability of these strains to produce extracellular hydrolytic enzymes on specified media was assessed, along with their effectiveness in inhibiting the mycelial growth of several phytopathogenic fungi (, , and ) using dual culture plate assays. Results from these inhibition assays revealed that PF05 and LMG 23520 strains were the most effective in suppressing fungal growth, especially .

The correlation between spoilage bacteria and the degradation of aquatic food quality during chilled storage is substantial. However, our understanding of the precise roles of spoilage bacteria in oyster spoilage remains incomplete. The aim of this study was to explore the role of three dominant spoilage bacteria strains in oyster spoilage.
