Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was investigated the characterization of newly isolated bacteriophages infected to histamaine-producing Morganella morganii and Photobacterium damselae, and utilization of bacteriophages for control of the pathogens and histamine accumulation. Three strains, FSP1, ΦMV-1 and ΦMV-4, for M.morganii and a strain, Phda1, for P.damselae were successfully isolated from river waters in this study. The viable count of M. morganii and histamine accumulation inhibited on tuna meat by the FSP1 treatment. This result suggests that bacteriophages such as FSP1 and Phda1 could be used as a biocontrol agent against M. morganii and P.damselae for treatment of infectious disease treatment or food decontamination.
